Hello Gents,

Hope you don't mind me tagging along, but thought I could perhaps offer one or two points for consideration by the committee.

A couple of things with this badge do not seem quite right to my eye. Firstly, the KC is rather stretched-looking. It is certainly the British KC/Tudor Crown (whichever name you prefer) but it looks far too wide, and in my opinion, not a design variation that would be officially endorsed.

Secondly, the lion's left front leg looks unnaturally bent the wrong way. I have never seen an heraldic lion with its leg bent downwards - apart from the fact that it is not something a real lion could do, lions in heraldry tend to have their legs either positioned straight out or bent slightly upwards (please see attachments).

Also, the only reference I can find to double-headed heraldic lions, show the creature depicted with both heads facing in the same direction.

I reckon that this badge is very probably some sort of home-made, unofficial club emblem.

Just a thought, and very probably way off the mark.
