Hello all,

Is there anyone out there who can please give me a definitive identification of this printed badge which is 4 inches x 3.5 inches. Thank you.

Hi

I have seen the item before, and I believe that it has connections to do with the U.S.N.!
However, if I find out more then I will let you know.

Regards
Arthur

It's RN and, if memory serves, is post WW2. Other colours and numbers were also used.

Are these the for runner of the coloured brassards worn to distinguish what sort of damage or repair the wearer is responsible for?

Thanks for the answers so far, I will put it on to the RN page and see what comes up. For 54Bty. Which country/service wore the armbands?

This badge has now been identified thanks to member Rolfi. The answer is contained under the heading of ROYAL NAVY. Case closed. Thanks to all who replied.
