Hi dandequille
The method I use to clean badges is a product called BRASSO and the plenty of elbow grease. Wink

Great collection!! I have over 250 Military buttons and badges that are dug up..most from the UK but some from here in Canada.

Did you find that SAS Badge? Huh?

?

That 97th is very nice also, I have a few of the ones you have.

My fav is a WW2 British Intelligence Corp badge found near Bletchly Park.

HI Dean
All my badges have been found by me .

The SAS badge was a dream come true for me , my heart missed a beat when that came up Shocked

They all came from area's I'd researched. ( not that hard really )
They all were from courting spots ... area's around little woods and spinneys where people used to meet.

Infact I think a few were lost in action . ( know what I mean ) Shocked

A lot of people try to give me badges but I'm not interested I only like the one's I find myself.
I know where there from and how they were lost .

It sounds like you have a great collection Dean, well done. Barrie

Most of the badges and buttons I have, have been given to me by members of the UKDN as they don't really want them and I use them for displays.
I put on my Towns Nov 11th Rememberance Day display as well as the annual Camp X Display.

Check this out

I also work with schools and other Historical Societies and archives.

If you ever get offered buttons or badges again that you don't want, PLEASE let me know as I can use them.

I will post some photos of the Camp X event that shows the display I put on there...my friend Frank has them but he's away..when he gets back he will put them on.

If I get offered any more badges I will let you know and you can have them .

I work at a School and like you I put on displays and do talks on my finds and metal detecting.

It quite often gets me new land as some of the students fathers are farmers. Grin

You've got a great web site there very interesting. Barrie
