Condition report:
The items are generally in good to very good condition. A significant portion of the smaller lapel pins and the Royal British Legion anniversary patch remain in their original plastic protective or retail packaging. The regimental water bottle and flag appear to be unused. Larger brass badges exhibit light surface patina and minor oxidation consistent with age.
