Several souvenir issues of this badge have been issued, Paul is correct in suggesting this could be a film prop for 'The Longest Day'. Other patterns exist, some in the form of 'Souvenir' badges. One variant is impressed JR Gaunt. Another has a star in place of the anchor to the right hand side scroll.
Beware as the desirability of this badge has resulted in heavy faking - some fairly obvious fortunately. Fake numbering is particularly deceptive and should perhaps result in prosecution as a deliberate intention to defraud and deceive!
