All are good original items, but lacking the paint finish on the RAD cap badge and Heer pith helmet sheild.
Top to bottom:

Demjansk campaign award sheild

DJ sports badge

RAD cap badge

Heer pith helmets sheilds



Cheers, Ade.

Hi there the Demjansk shield isn't particually common as shields go. Have you got close ups? Here's mine,part of an A/Aircraft group. Stewy S

can you or even should you clean or polish these things?

[Adrian Stevenson]

The very most you should do is wash them carefully with luke warm soapy water and use an old soft brush toothbrush. HOWEVER, don't do this on anything like those pith helmets sheilds as the paint can easily flake off.

Never ever polish them!

Cheers, Ade.

Very nice collection Cobra!! If I had half your stuff I'd post detail photos of them all!! Of course in the relevant sub sections Regards Thomas

All look good from what I can see there?

The only one I do have real concerns about is the SS-ZA stick pin. Please show the back to that one please.

Cheers, Ade.
