Military Police Southern Command Badge
 

Hi All,

I've bought this thinking it's a Military Police Southern Command badge but when it's arrived the right hand side is black rather than dark blue.

Is this just a printers variant or is there a red and black southern command badge and if so who's?

Thanks a lot,

Michael

Brilliant, thanks Mike.

I thought it was meant to be dark blue like the corps colours.

Thanks for the help,

Michael
