      Hi Richard I had an idea that there would be some nice items in those cases,but these are just stunning! Superb looking badges.Thanks for showing. Best wishes,Martin.

      [attachmentid=61307]Thanks to all.Yes,he was Royal Artillery from 1914 to his retirement as a warrant Officer just before WW2.I have all his medals from the 1914 Star with Mons Bar to his M.S.M.H e finished his career as gunnery instructor for The Queens Own Worcestershire Hussars.I just found this badge,looks like the type on his sleeve. Again,thanks,Martin.

      Richard,with what appears to be an absolutely great collection displaying them would be the least of my worries.I'm sure you'll figure it out.Also,i would like to see the contents of all those cases,when you have time. Best wishes,Martin.

      [attachmentid=61143]The reason i ask is because of this photo.It is my grandfather,R.A,taken C.1918 and he is wearing the insignia on his sleeve above his stripes. Thanks and regards,Martin.

      Hardy,i might be wrong but i beleive that Frank & Reif did not produce U-Boat badges and any badge with that maker mark should be considered a fake.Hopefully,someone more knowlegable can verify this. best wishes,Martin.

      Gordon,is that a Rudolf Souval badge?Thanks,Martin.
    12. Martin W
      Hi everyone.i pretty much agree with Gordon,especially about the U-Boat badge,but as a collector of Kriegsmarine badges i think that they are "must-have" items.Their early Blockade Runner and Coaastal Artillery badges are probably the nicest i've seen,so far. Best wishes,Martin.

      [attachmentid=56956]This last badge is not KM as you can see but it is one of my Favorite badges.I really like this early Juncker,a little on the worn side but i keep it because of my lifelong fascination with the Battle of Britain.I hope you've enjoyed looking at my collection as much as i've enjoyed looking at some of yours over the past couple of days,warmest regards,Martin.
