Hi Mike,
I think the NEI badge was meant to be used on the European uniform of members of the Dutch East Indies army (KNIL) in the period 1942/43-1950. The second badge is unommon but many variations exist. I would date this one 1945-46. Cheers, JB Quote:

Hi Mike,
The free DEI KNIL troops were trained in Australia in ww2 and this badge is likely made there. JB |

Very interesting thread.
JB, can you give the details on that order? And post a transcript? (If that is possible.) There should be a parallel order or approval from CMHQ or NDHQ.

Hi Bill,
I got the info from a Dutch reference badge book but these orders should be in the archives relating to the Dutch Ministery of War as it was established in London. I found some info on the web but not this one. JB |

Bill,
I agree with Thomas, they were usually made by JR Gaunt. It looks original though. JB |
