I was looking around my collection for things to post that I haven’t posted before and thought you guys might like to see this.

I have built up this set over a quite a bit of time. I never really intend on buying these online from dealers rather I tried to source these locally. All but one have been found in local antique shops or antique fairs for less than £20!

It’s not quite the complete set however. I am yet to get the Burma star which is easily found online but I wish to find locally as well. The Air Crew Europe star which I doubt I will get locally or online And the artic star but that was only released a few years ago so I am not sure if it counts in this set if I bought one of the modern copies.

For being quite basic medals the ribbons Certainly make up for it adding a nice eye catching display to my shelf. I feel these medals are under appreciated! I have certainly under appreciated them in the past, I remember passing a few medal groups back in the day at antique fairs since I didn’t know much about them then :weep:

Thanks for having a look guys!
