Hi Steve, welcome to the forum!
I have added a few id's to your post for you.
You are correct in your ID's so far.
No3 will be some kind of trademan's badge, I think? But not one I actually recognise.
No7 will be one of the various Light Infantry Regt cap badges.
Cheers, Ade.

Thanks for the update Ade,
Do you happen to have any idea on values - as mentioned my friend is looking to sell - he has mentioned figures of around £40 for the lot - is this reasonable?

Thanks for the updates everyone, AIF - you have a PM!
Where in your opinion guys, would be a good place to dispose of them - ebay perhaps, or am I more likely to get a better price on say, the For Sale section on the forum?

You are probably better off posting them in the For Sales section on here, because by the time that you have paid out all your costs etc with eBay you will be lucky to clear much return.
Average cost for each of them is anything from £5GBP to about £10GBP but not too sure of the RPC collar dogs.
BTW, the belt buckle is the old British Army General Service buckle.
Hope this is of some help
