Hello,

Not typically an Ambulance Service looking badge unless you know different?

Its very much like the badge of the Queens Own West Kent Yeomanry but they normally have normal fonts on the scroll rather than Invicta in Old English font.

Its a bronze Officers Service Dress (OSD) badge if it is the Kent Yeomanry.

regards

I would go with West Kent Yeomanry or Kent Cyclist Battalion OSD cap badge.

Not an area I know much about, civilian ambulance services, but in doing a search I did find this Kent Ambulance Service badge, which is different. I also saw the same dealer has a chrome one like the one that started this thread.

I also saw on the net a similar badge to this one above that said "East Coast Ambulance Service" and don't know if it a name change or a different service.

I also saw the same dealer has this chrome one like the one that started this thread.

Good luck identifiying it, happy to buy it off you to add to my ever gowing collection of Kent horses of which I haven’t a clue about.
