Super nice estate fresh air force grouping appears to be early 1980s- late 1990s or early 2000s. Lots of obsolete air force badges and some rare insignia! Bought this last year from an estate picker. The grouping appears to have been from a senior enlisted man (Master Sergeant) who reached the fire rank of Fire Chief/ Marshal the highest rank in the AF fire service. The fire protection badge is obsolete now in the air force making them much harder to find then years ago. I believe now they only use the patch. Sadly the set is not named or attributed! I feel like a lot of these semi modern groupings are being split up lately. Down the road nice original groupings are going to be tough to find. If i cant get my asking price or a fair price i will split it down the road or just keep the badges. As for right now i will try to sell it as a grouping! 1x 1984 AF Side Cap, leather band super nice near mint condition. 1x FULL size large Deputy Fire Chief Badge in original box. 1x Mini Badge Fire Chief / Marshal in the original box. A 3rd box that has. 1x firefighter badge mini. 2x assistant fire chief badges mini. 1x deputy fire chief badges. Plus 2x extra clutch backs. (badges are all early pin back obsolete variants dfn). Bag of patch. 5x total rank patches 4x large size 1x small / 3x subdued 2x regular. Also 2x shoulder boards for master sergeant. 9x still sealed ribbons. 26x loose ribbon bars (many w stars or olc oak leaves). Pair of af silver collar disks 2x. Total of 37x individual insignia in bag. (this also tells us he saw combat service in desert storm/ and recieved multiple af commendation medals, multiple meritorious service medals and multiple air force achievement medals & good conduct medals). Pretty neat grouping, a lot of these get split down the road sets like this will he desirable! Sadly no name but exactly as acquired! Pricing was tough here a lot of value present. I do not want to split it but will if i have to down the road. Im bascially charging total what i feel the badges are worth- large size deputy fire chief badge is a tough one to find in the large variant and alone is a 75-100 dollar badge! Price might seem high but at the ask im really only charging for the badges and giving the rest for free…. If its sitting and you want a specific thing message me and we will figure it out!
