Superb. Our motto (perhaps): "Police Power grows out of the Barrel of a Gun"! Mike

I like that, another 'Artillery' badge that isn't.

Fantastic find, thanks for sharing Eddie, another to look out for. Any idea what the scroll says? And I assume (hope) they don't have an actual artillery badge as well to confuse the unwary/me?
All the best Graham

The scroll says Shurta Umm al Qaiwain = UaQ Police. I don't think they had a uniformed army, but they did own a field gun, hence the badge.
