I have nothing from my G-G-Grand-Dad's military service, so I would like to start collecting metal objects that would have been worn on his uniform and hat. I am a total newbie. I see stuff on Ebay but don't know if he would have had it on his uniform. I can only assume it would start with crossed cannons. Thanks for any help.
