This lot consists of several mid-20th-century service awards, commemorative badges, and travel souvenirs. The collection features a silver-tone service bar chain comprised of ten individual bars dated sequentially from 1923 to 1932, terminating in a circular medallion with an eight-pointed Maltese cross, the emblem of the St John Ambulance Brigade. Also included is a circular enamel badge inscribed Plymouth and District Ambulance Service Association with a central red cross design. A cylindrical metal service whistle is present, bearing the stamp for J. Hudson and Co, Birmingham, and dated 1934. The collection further contains a silver-tone link charm bracelet with multiple enamel shield charms representing various Swiss cantons, with visible inscriptions for Suisse, Geneve, Luzern, Bern, Basel, and Zurich. Additional items include a circular brass badge for Libyan Arab Airlines, a metallic maritime badge depicting a spread-wing eagle on a fouled anchor, and multiple small enamel lapel pins and two pairs of cufflinks featuring Maltese cross motifs. A small heraldic pin with a gold key and a circular openwork pentagram pendant with a braided border complete the lot.
