" unfinished returned airman's sweetheart pin (WW 2) AND MORE

Hi all,After work wednesday i went to a Aussie rules football ground.The oval is more than 100 years old and was used for many different events over the years.The ground was used for a large fair to the returned servicemen of the allied forces of WW2. These included Canadan,New zealand,british, american and the aussies.

Found wasd a unfinished sweetheart pin- Airforce badge sent into a piece of Perspex from a WW2 aircraft of some type.Unfinished could tell a story in its self.

Found a aussie forlin 1946 but i,m not sure of the silver content of this coin.

A couple of Poppy day pins. New zealand i think 1946


thanks for looking tinpan

Fantastic finds, Tinny! Here's the answer to the Tribute to Poppy Day...has some older PD pins. http://www.diggerhistory.info/pages-tributes/poppy.htm

I'm all familiar with PD due to my affiliation with the American Legion.
