Default NAVAL POLICE FORCE - SINGAPORE

Dear All,
Does anybody has the NAVAL POLICE FORCE - SINGAPORE cap badge. I believe that this cap badge was worn by the Naval Police Force in Singapore during the 1950s.
Sorry that I am unable to attach a photo of the cap badge here.

Thanks and Regards.

Gurkha Rifles ( Singapore Based ).

As I understand it, the cap badge worn between 1956 and 1971 had on it the words "Admiralty Police". The centre depicted an anchor on a voided background. The whole was surrounded by a wreath of laurels and surmounted by a St. Edward's Crown. The finish was in white metal with a slider fitting.

The "other ranks" version was only made in white metal. In fact, the photo of the badge shown by Phil is in white metal, with a slider.
