Question Leicesters' TF/TA Badge

Alan, Martin,

Many thanks for your posts on this badge, the reason I started it was because I saw another similar badge to mine online.

Now only a complete fool would vandalise a plastic WWII cap badge as these now generally sell for a higher price compared to normal metal badges of the same period. This was not always the case as fifty years or so ago collectors generally dismissed them as junk.

Whilst I understand why people alter modern copy badges by painting them or removing scrolls for financial gain, this badge is a complete mystery to me. I will keep my version on the Leicestershire board as there is always a chance of further information.

Regards Rob
