Unknown British Legion badge?
Hi
Wonder if anyone would like to give a date/ period to this badge, please?
What intrigues me is the "1914" date so is this some type of "home front" badge or did "British Legion" have another meaning in 1914?
The badge is, as I've heard said, a "high cost item" as the Union Jack shield has been applied separately.
No number, no maker, a "half moon" clip but about the size and format of those "Athlete's Volunteer Force 1914"
Thoughts?
The other pic is of the standard large BL badge plus a bronze Auckland-made badge for the New Zealand branch (dating from around 1922). Note the crossed Union Jack and the NZ flags.
