Good day, I have here a small lot of buttons which appear to be belgian and bavarian. They all look different and were probably worn on different uniforms and possibly in different times. Could you help me to correctly assign them to period - uniform? Many thanks 1st button

I will ! many thanks for your comment :)

Hello Emanuel, thanks for your confirmation! Yep it is ground dug, from a war end retreat area where also croatian stuff was found and POW crossed too. It is then most likely a discarded badge from a chetnik, I guess. Kind regards

Good day, I could use some help here in correctly ID this fragment of badge found. I believe it's from the kingdom of Yugoslavia, but I would like to know if anyone would have used also till the war end. Many thanks

Hi, I just joined the group on FB, thanks for the suggestion!

Hi, thanks for the hint! I looked on amazon but I only found some comic books under that title. Do you know the author? thanks

Quite uncommon medal I would say. I think it could be dated 1900-1930's period and it related to a charity association called Associazione Italiana Pubblica Assistenza (Public Aid Italian Ass). No clue for the other acronymous. It must have been related to Red Cross and this medal was awarded to stretchers,imo. But there is very little information about it and I could only find a similar medal but with a different ribbon. A keeper indeed

Good day, I started collecting napoleonic relics as a side collection. It is still possible to dig some buttons over here, a reminder of the past battles when Napoleon reached here. My collection is tiny on the subject, mainly buttons, some buckle and relic badge, all ground dug. I recently bought an interesting book entitled "Waterloo Relics" which is very interesting but far from being complete. I was wondering then if there is any book out there showing details of buckles, buttons, insignia (not drawings but real pictures). Thanks in advance regards Matt
