A collection to be proud of, Gouldy! As Ade has said, the hat pins, medals and original photos would look great displayed.

You may want to hold onto the WWI items. I know for me personally, I stuck with WWII items only when I first started collecting and thought that would always be my main focus. As I began to purchase more and more, WWI items began creeping into my collection. Now I actively seek them out, more so than WWII.

You never know when your interests are going to change!!

Hi gouldy,
nice collection you have it is nice to have some family items there, but i would like to point out that the Air Crew europe star is not an original, i do hope you know that. It wouldnt be good to for you to think it is, you can do a comparison to originals on this sight. hope this helps.

Your A. Parsons shield shaped badge is one worn by the Auxilliary Units, and is a very rare item. If you google Auxilliary Units you will find a wealth of info, good luck, John.
