I have been a collector of badges/pins/buttons for a long time now, i must have over 1000, more badges than sense. Mostly peace related, human rights etc. If anyone would like to share their badges, maybe one or two, please feel free. I know this is a bit of an obscure topic but oh well. If the mods feel fit to close then do so. It may be interesting to some of the more older members of bombing science. I'll start the ball rolling with some pictures. Add any of your colections of anything, if your interested.
