Thanks for your suggestion. That is a good point you have made. The maker's stamp on the slider indicates that that part was professionally manufactured, but the rest of the badge has quite obviously been hand fashioned, probably in a local bazaar as 'Padre' suggested earlier. The slider has been attached with lead solder and judging by how oxidised it is, was done a long time ago. It was probably made up from materials which were to hand at the time.
