Default Opinions needed on cap badge
I would be grateful for opinions on what I think is a Jewish Battallion Badge.
I attach some pics.
Thanks,
Peter

Hi,
It's one that comes up quite regularly, but is in fact Trinidad and Tobago Police. If you search that on Google images, it should confirm it ok for you. No idea to it's originality or not.

Default Jewish Badge
Think it's Nigeria Customs, and a restrike, very common. Often seen on ebay as Palestine Police or such.

Thanks John and arcticmedals. It seems an unusual badge for these, I only assumed that it was Jewish because of the star.
