Hello all,
Here is an unusual looking Indian Signal Corps badge. Has anyone seen one like it? Can anyone tell me anything about it? Best wishes. Phil. |

Dear Phil.
As we have spoken before and as I have said I do not know what this badge actually is. (The scroll at the bottom really throws me). I believe from the photos you have shown that this is a cast badge rather than a struck item. The motto is the 1949 version in Devnagiri script of Teevra Chaukas in English Swift and Sure/Secure and can clearly be seen as being the same as the photo I attach of an early Officer's Brass Cross Belt Badge. The motto before this was Certa Cito and translates to Tez O Sahih dating from 1934 so I am fairly confident that we are looking at a post 1949 badge. If I had to make a considered guess I think this could be a locally struck badge made by a local craftsman and hence the oak leaves around the globe at the bottom in slightly the wrong place. Only a guess mind. Nice little item though Phil. Kind regards Chris |

Thanks very much for your input Chris, always appreciated.
Piffer, you may be right, but I would have thought the "Jimmy" would be white metal. This badge looks brand new and it came in a completely sealed packet, with this flimsy looking retaining pin. I bought it from Barcelona. A nice badge regardless. Phil. |
