With more than a decade passing since this thread last got a kick questions arise.
Do the same people accumulating here continue to do so or have they offloaded?
With research the way it is now, are the "bits" seen as sterile "collectables" or a key to a story? No two stories are the same, although long service awards are going to be fairly similar.
Within the collection there are a number of Orders that are collected in the hundreds and considerably more collected in the dozens but with the hope of research they can be seen as many individuals rather than many items that are the same. This is not the same as hoarding rather "numb" Jubilee Medals.
Hoarding to speculate and searching for histories are two completely different things.
