Default W S C ww1 star badge

Hi All,

I know these have been discussed before, but just wondering what others thought the most likely. A very nice little lapel badge made by Birmingham medal co. being a ww1 star with WSC instead of date.I think it is likely to be 1 from these options :-

Water Service Company - ww1 outfit providing water to troops

War Service Comrades

Wilkinson Sword Company, or

War Saving Certificates which I think is most likely

Cheers, Mark

Default War Savings?

I’m not sure sorry but I’d lean more towards some sort of OCA Badge as it’s based on a medal the war savings famously used the Swastika.

Not sure what the WSC stands for but I do have one of these. Seen quite a few come up for sale in South Africa in the past few years
