Default Johannesburg Commissionaire Corps

Hi All,

Can anybody give me any information about the Johannesburg (JHB)Commissionaire Corps, please? Did they have any connection to the SA Corps of Commissionaires?

Many thanks in advance,

Phil

Thanks Brian, the badge is cast and has a wide slider. Measures 42mm across. I haven't got the badge in hand yet, though.

Cheers

Phil

Now the badge is in hand I can say that it is actually die cast, not cast, it measures 42mm across.

The badge took five months to reach me because of the SA postal strikes.

Any help with this badge would still be much appreciated

Thanks,

Phil
