This lot comprises a collection of approximately thirty-five vintage metal uniform buttons, badges, and small decorative items, predominantly crafted from brass, bronze, and various silver-toned metals, along with one translucent white button-style brooch. The items appear to be primarily British military, naval, and civilian uniform insignia, likely dating from the 20th century. Notable visible inscriptions and designs include: “HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE” on two “West Sussex” regimental badges, “ROYAL NAVY,” “NATIONAL SERVICE,” “ROYAL AIR FORCE,” “SCOTTISH COMMAND,” “CORNWALL COUNTY COUNCIL,” and “POLICE.” One item is a bullet casing-shaped key fob, and another is a winged propeller badge.
