Hi,

It's a bit hard to tell about the first 5 items but they look OK. Note that J. O'Brian has since been ID'd as Josiah Odence.

The Assmann Para is however, I believe, a reproduction. 266 is their number for the Senior Parachutist Badge. I can live with the star being removed but the overall obverse detail of the badge is weak and there are indications of casting on the reverse. Compared to a genuine example, it just does not stack up.

Regards

Mike
