Default Chindit metal badge?

Hello Gentlemen,

Has anyone ever encountered a Chindit metal badge (cast and apparently locally-made)??

Hi Paul
That is the one and the grouping - I think you may have had it from a mutual friend. A lovely grouping, thanks for sharing.
Regards
Mike
PS - Just noticed - it looks like the same badge ... the paint chips look the same
