Well done, nice badge. I think I've only seen one or two of those come on the market in the past 20 years. Very nice find!!!

Hi Frank, great to get it. A bit of an unusual South African badge with QEII crown. Enjoy it. Regards Andrew

Well done Frank

About 5 years ago I happened to walk into a little antique come militaria shop in Johannesburg, lo and behold up on his wall I did spy the self same badge written up as WW2 South African artillery badge.... R100!!!!! Needless to say it went home with me as one of the biggest bargains I have had for some time.

Hello Brian,
One hundred Rand was certainly a bargain!
