This collection includes several British organisational badges and vintage bronze coinage. The group features an enamelled brass badge for Royal Air Force Maintenance Unit 48, depicting a blue horse within a white circular field, surrounded by a blue border and surmounted by a St Edward’s crown. The Welsh motto scroll at the base reads Nid Grym Heb Grefft. Also included is an oval white-metal official’s badge for the Birmingham Motor Cycle Club, issued for the British Experts Trial in Llandrindod Wells during the club’s Diamond Jubilee year, 1901 to 1963. A circular enamelled Red Cross Youth First Aid proficiency badge is present, featuring a red cross on a white shield against a sunburst ground. The coinage consists of two British bronze pennies; one is identifiable as a George V issue with the obverse legend Georgivs V D G Britt Omn Rex, while the other is heavily worn and depicts a seated Britannia on the reverse.
