Hi Wayne, could you post a pic of the reverse? Do you know which Bosleys sale it came from?
I can make a few observations, the 'N' from impune has a broken top indicating this overlay was struck/cast from an old die!
The pinched style crown and IT spelling would suggest a 42nd officers badge circa 1870, yet it has a St. Andrews center?
The left hand arm of the star has an unsightly blob of solder?
There is no patination on the badge?
Ron.
