British Security Coordination 2nd Pattern
 

I picked this up today at my local militaria shop. Both the seller and myself assumed it was a reproduction and priced accordingly. I don’t imagine I’ll ever come across a real one! From what I understand this pattern was postwar and worn at reunions?

Dont know anything about when it was worn or why but I am confident that it is a genuine period badge.

An MI6 organisation based in New York during WW2.

Yup. Sir William Stephenson’s. I’m in the process of getting out of the CAF Int reserves (we’re officially the Intelligence Corps again!) and he was our first Colonel-Commandant and from my home city so he’s still a big figure for us.

If correct itshould have makers details to side of lug on right side...Scully I believe.
Not sure of present value , I paid three hundred and fifty for my example about eight years ago.
There were two types,believed worn by security at the base at camp X I believe.

Looks correct though should have Scully makers details to side of lug on right side.
Not sure of present value , I paid three hundred and fifty for my example about eight years ago.
Worn by gzurds at camp X I believe....two patterns produced .
Others may wish to add their opinions. There is limited info on the badges and no pjoto confirmation they were worn....well that's a surprise lol

Just took a close look and it does have the Scully mark! It’s hard to see with the tarnish and I can’t get a decent closeup with my iPhone camera, but it’s there.

....kind of think you have done well there I think !!
Still trying to locate the smaller version !!
