I have 6 pins that I need help identifying please. The shield pin marked "GWV" is marked sterling and numbered 32919. The pin that looks like 2 hearts is marked "TKS" in a box. The wreath and crossed swords looks like a medal ribbon hanger. The American Eagle pendant has some faint markings on the back, but I can't read them.

The bear is the cap badge of the Warwickshire Yeomanry - the bear & ragged staff of the Earl of Warwick, they amalgamated with another yeomanry regiment, the Worcetershire Hussars in 1960 & have undergone further amalgamations since then.
Hard to tell from photos, but I would be wary that this example is fake - like most British cap badges it's heavily faked.
The "hearts badge" looks like that awarded for donating blood, assuming it's British I'd guess from late 40's - early 50's because of what I take to be the somewhat strange "modern" variation on the Kings Crown.Comment

Hi all, the GWV badge is for the Great War Veterens of Canada. They along with many other vets groups ammalgamated into the Royal Canadian Legion. It is quite common here in Canada.
