Any Ideas on this Kings Crown Lapel badge
 

Hi can anyone shed light on this badge please? Kings Crown surmounting Laurel which protrudes at the top like wings but is itself Lauel! With for what may be a stirrup? Within this I can make out "A"-"?" -"P"-"?"-"A"

I have no idea what this is but look forward to your thoughts! Many thanks in advance Billy

Hi Billy,

Its for the Metropolitan Police Athletics Association :) Circa 1930s

Cheers Phil was looking at the picture after posting and trying to work out the missing letters and thought it could be an "M" but that was quick you obviously have one in your Police collection? Many thanks Billy

You are welcome, mate. I have seen plenty of them but have never owned one. The design changes through the decades until the current manifestation. A Google image search shows a few types that have sold on Ebay.
