Assorted Sporting Medals and Badges Collection
This lot comprises a varied collection of sporting medals, commemorative pieces and association badges, covering a range of disciplines including running, football and motorcycling. The group includes two medals inscribed “Bath 2013” with coloured enamel borders, alongside a number of cast medals depicting athletes, gymnastics and boxing. Other items include a medal bearing the word “Roma” and Olympic rings, a Royal Navy badge reading “Naval” and “Command”, a Surrey County Amateur Swimming Association enamel badge, and a Fleet Swimming Club badge. Materials and finishes vary across gold, silver and bronze tones, with some pieces featuring ribbons, rings or suspension loops.
Condition, Originality and Collector Interest
Surface wear, tarnish and general age-related marks are visible across the group, and the condition of each piece varies. The items appear to be sold as a mixed collection, with no further documentation evident in the lot description. Assorted sporting medals of this kind often appeal to collectors of athletics, football, swimming and motorsport memorabilia, as well as those interested in club and association history. The range of designs and organisations represented may also suit a buyer seeking a broad themed collection or a starting point for further research.
