Hi all, any ideas on this small brass badge, with no lugs left on the back. It has the following on it 1967 la bore et honore brakpan
Thanks andrew

It's the coat of arms which the Brakpan municipality in the Transvaal adopted in 1967. Perhaps this was some kind of commemorative item, or a badge for municipal officials such as traffic police to wear on their uniforms.
