Thank you Chris, yes, and probably a rare if not unique survivor from those days. I like things like this that fall outside "badge collecting" as they add to the story of both units and individuals.

Graham,
A nice find indeed well within your area of collecting. And I would say find me another! A unique item.

Thank you Stephen, it will go well with my SG badges - although I'll need a deeper case. :D
