My KM Badge Collection

[Jody]

Hello folks,
I decided to break these badges out of the old safety deposit box and have my friend from the forum Tony, scan them for me. Here is my collection and it took over 20+ years to complete. With the exception of 7 pieces, these badges were veteran obtained. Most of these badge were bought before 1984.

I am very picky about my KM badges and I hope you like them as much as I do. BTW, I have recently added two new badges in posts # 53-56.

Regards,
Jody
