Ahhh that’s awesome good detective work 👍 what’s the piping on his should for? thanks for your help 😊

Hi, Any help at all to identify the title of this soldier, I can’t see a rank on his uniform, so I’m assuming he was private. Not sure the scan has helped in trying to find out about this young man. Thanks for any help you may be able to give.

Hi Sorry Help needed again, is this a First World War Army officers ammunition pouch or is it much older being late Victorian? Thank you so much for any info you may have about this. 😊

Hi Graf, Thanks for your comment, it really is a lovely box that i decided I cant part with it just yet, so its back on my shelf. 😊

Hi, I was hoping someone with a lot more knowledge than me could help. I’ve had this Trench art snuff box for a number of years and I’ve now decided to sell it. I knew there was very slight damage to the laurel wreath on closer inspection the crown looks like a QVC not a kings crown. When i bought this i never noticed this. So I’m a bit puzzled by this little snuff box. Could any one help me with this. I thought these snuff box were associated with WW1 trench art. Anyways i really welcome others thought on this. Thank you so much for any help.

Any ideas? I'm thinking general service belt for the navy but don't have clue if i'm honest. Also think its pretty modern?

Thank you Simon for your help. It was a nice surprise to see in when I unpacked my parcel wasn’t even aware it was part of Lot

Ahhh brill so would it just be worn by infantry regiments or any regiments in the Army? Is the buckle real? Looks very ornate

Thank you Simon thats most helpful

Hi I bought some trench art that arrived the other day and this was in the bottom of the box, I'm guessing this is a Buff belt but I've not seen the belt buckle before I think its Queen Victoria Crown but I was wondering which regiments wear this? or it is a standard belt that all regiments can wear. the buckle seems good quality the belt is small I don't know it if this is a genuine item or not.. was surprised to it in the box. so hoping someone could help me

I'm happy to put the other picts up on here, But I spoke with the auction house and they said if I sent them back they would give me a credit note on my account as couldn't give my money back had the vendor had already been paid... So I have sent them back, as wouldn't have got anything back from the auction house.

Hi, This may have been already discussed on here at some point but I was wondering what the numbers and letter before the service number on WW1 medals mean. for example DM2/ then the service number or 6/ then the service number, I haven't seen many medals with number and letter before the service number, I had some WW1 naval medal once which had lettering on but was after the service number and meant what they were in the navy. is this the same thing?

Hi yes both were painted, which was hiding some of the detailing removed the paint, to see what was going of, and yep I believe the are both fake. Bit gutting as bout them a military auction with 3 other badges labelled as 5 ORIGINAL! Badges. If these are not then I’m guessing the others aren’t also No the edges aren’t sharp.

Thats great thank you
