A diverse collection of British insignia and memorabilia. Military items include a large gold-toned Infantry Junior Leaders Battalion shield badge featuring a central red enamel shield with a silver dagger, a Royal Army Medical Corps cap badge, a white metal thistle badge, and a white metal portcullis badge. Further service items comprise a pair of black fabric shoulder slides with gold-toned Captain rank pips and assorted brass buttons. Police collectables include a Metropolitan Police silver-toned lapel pin and a Police Collectors Insignia Association card with pins depicting Royal Irish Constabulary and Royal Ulster Constabulary constables. Civilian and scouting items feature a circular Essex fabric roundel with gold-wire embroidery depicting three seaxes, a Midland Area Discoverers Challenge scouting patch dated 1961-64, and a Royal British Legion pin on its original backing card. The collection is housed in a repurposed blue velvet-lined presentation box marked A Dartington Paperweight.
