Major General Bil4338 Posted September 19, 2016 Major General Share Posted September 19, 2016 Hi folks, two badges here, just need clarification on them.top is obviously pre-1953 British, but for what purpose? bottom are printed on cloth, as in the British style, maybe even British made, but I can't find these in any reference book or online.perhaps for an Arabic country or such as Pakistan or India? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrikakorpsrat64 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Trying to see what I can come up with on this @Bil4338. I'll keep you posted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrikakorpsrat64 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 @Bil4338, the circle Crown, might be post war British troops stationed in Berlin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major General Bil4338 Posted September 28, 2016 Author Major General Share Posted September 28, 2016 It's certainly identical to the formation patch, but why the crown in the centre I wonder? Added later or what...begs further investigation, maybe something rare and collectable? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrikakorpsrat64 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 @Bil4338 maybe the crown was an officers thing? or added later. Some one in my research mentioned Singapore on the other two patches, close as I could come was finding the crescent moon and stars, still looking for an actual patch but maybe we are close?

Major General Bil4338 Posted September 29, 2016 Author Major General Share Posted September 29, 2016 I think it's Singapore. Someone (sorry, forget who...Davejb perhaps) ID'd it as such and provided a link to a Singaporean collectors site.an identical badge was there...apart from the two colour's it was single, but exact same in design. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major General Bil4338 Posted September 29, 2016 Author Major General Share Posted September 29, 2016 Correction, it was Mav352 ....Singaporean Police patches.he provided a (tenuous) link which if you click 'collections', second down on the left shows the exact patches under 'colonial insignia' or similar.I won't return to the site to check as it's difficult to navigate as under construction and keeps loading unwanted pages instead.so thanks to all, particularly Mav352 for some great detective work! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav352 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 @Bil4338 anytime my friend it helped to pass a couple of quiet night shifts, I will check back to that site from time to time to see if that section is up yet ( I want to know what they are as well ). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
