Chris,
You are a star mate. Thank you! Also many thanks to Simon for making the suggestion.
I will now tell the current owner of the badge that it is NOT police related and that as a result its of no interest to me. The gent concerned is not a member of this forum so consequently I cannot insist that he offers the badge to forum members before offering it elsewhere. I apologise for this as I know that it "irks" members to be pumped for information and then for the recipient of the info. to part with the badge outwith the forum.
Dave.
