Hello,
I just "inherited" quite a large grouping of items from a dear friend who has been collecting over 40 yrs but is now desiring to part with a lot of things. He has no computer and will probably never attend another show. He told me to keep the items I wanted and sell off the rest. For this reason, I hope to be putting a large number of items on this site, first to verify authenticity (I don't know badges very well) and secondly to get a fair ballpark value before placing them on the estand. My friend made it clear he doesn't want to ask full market on anything, but I don't want to give his stuff away either.
First of all, I will begin with the "least damaged" piece, which is a general assault badge that is missing the clasp hook although the base is present. If authentic, would anyone venture a guess as to maker?
