Hi Tom,
Many thanks for the reply and appreciate the info ..found that with the spelling you suggested that MR Google was more helpful rather than the spelling I was using from the badge..... Is it a badge as such ie was it worn on a piece of headless ....a pouch...a shoulder strap ??? Again thanks Gary |

Hi Peter...many thanks for the reply...seem to agree as both badges are slightly “rounded” that would suggest a form of head dress
Kind regards Gary |
