I have set up two albums showing badges produced by M AZAM & SONS of Lahore, Pakistan.

I own a number of the badges and other images are from Forum members’ collections. I have two catalogues from the early 1970s.

In terms of badges produced from the late 1960s, it seems likely that Regiments and Corps sent examples and ordered badges to be made for regimental bands and corps of drums which were not available from official sources.

The quality is variable but they are readily recognisable as at best ‘copies’. The flat lugs with a smallish hole for the split pin are a good indicator.

I can scan more pages from the catalogues if needed.
