Combined Operations metal badges
Hi
I’ve had these two small gilded brass and enamel badges for sometime, can anyone help with what they are? Thanks John |

It is shown on Combined Ops website with a blue enamel ribbon on top and described as " what I believe to be a WWII Combined Operations sweetheart brooch worn by wives, mothers or girlfriends."
Scroll down to "Medals with Insignia" https://www.combinedops.com/INSIGNIA%20IN%20USE.htm

I would agree - I have a slightly smaller one mounted on a silver bar and pin - pretty sure mine is a tie pin

Weirdly the weapon system doesn't look like a tommy gun.

Certainly not a Thompson.

There is a debate on the combined ops site that it might be a pump action shot gun!
