Star of David Lapel Badge

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has any idea what this badge would have been for? Possibly a locally made "On War Service" type badge?

That's great Luke, thanks for that. As I say it appeared to be a good badge, but thank you for clarifying. I will try and make a deal that is beneficial to both me and the seller.
