A large collection of military badges is being sold by Charterhouse in Sherborne on Thursday 28th November.

“The owner’s husband spent years collecting the badges but sadly passed away.” Commented Richard Bromell. “Usually, we see badge collections in cabinets or in frames, but these were all neatly stored away in a filing cabinet in his office.”
