Default The Barotse Native Police

On the well-known Auction Site appears a Badge of ' The Barotse Native Police' alongside a button of the same Force.These badges differ,that of the badge ( cap/collar) has the name scroll with downturned ends,that on the button bears a scroll with upturned ends.
I am being rather pedantic,but could those members with an interest in this unit have a look at any items they may have in order that we may ascertain the truth. Upturned ends or Down ?

I think your concerns are unfounded, both the button and badge look fine to me, although it is not my area of interest, but still very nice items!

You are allowed to say eBay by the way

Exclamation The Barotse Native Police - Badge/Button

Many thanks for the reply, as a matter of interest,and perhaps demonstrating the strength of the market for these items, the Badge fetched GBP320.oo and the Button GBP39.oo
