National Ex-Servicemen's badge?
Hi
Just seen your post on the Merit badge. A nice item. Size?
It's also good that it hasn't suffered from enamel loss which can happen when open work badges like this get bent/ trodden on or "flexed".
I'm also re-posting a photo of a badge that I've had for some time but for which the identification has eluded me so far.
It's around the size of the standard small Comrades badge and I'm guessing that "N.E.S." is "National Ex-Servicemen's"
No maker's mark or association number and while most of the pre-BL groupings used the motto "JUSTICE" this one has gone for "LOYALTY". Clearly the coat of arms in the centre makes an appeal to the United Kingdom.
Not seen another but maybe one of the members has another 10 tucked away!
