Nice collection Garry, thanks for sharing - I hadn’t seen the two round ‘date unknown’ police and prison badges before. One that I had, many many years ago, was a “Tanganyika Police” KC with giraffe, in WM (similar to your TT Prisons) - sadly traded or sold at some time which I now regret, but my interests were different in those days and I doubt I’m the only collector who thinks “wish I’d kept that”.

Wonderful thing, hindsight.

Fortunately, I still have my wm KC Tanganyika Pol badge and it has a diamond shaped dark blue cloth backing. I thought it a bit strange for a police badge to have a backing.
