There are many threads and posts about AMMO UK badges. More information here https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo...highlight=Ammo

Essentially the company produced badges in metals which were otherwise only issued in anodised aluminium. They were provided to PRIs and were worn by soldiers in preference to the anodised issue. The badges were also sold to collectors through various dealers.
