Default Unknown Lapel Pin
I feel like I have recently seen this lapel pin which came in a small lot of items I bought, but I don't know what it is so trying to search for it doesn't work. I m not sure if it fits into my areas of collecting. Can someone ID it for me please?

Thank you gentlemen! From what I have found out it is a civilian award in three grades for young people 14 to 25 I think for certain program achievements. Not in my area, so happy to let it go as freebie, but I suspect he postage from here to the UK would not be worth it.

Out of curiosity, I wonder what Sally sold hers for? Mine came in this lot (not my picture but the listing picture, sorry it's so blurry).

Thanks Mike, good to know. Guess I won't give it a try as I'm sure they'd figure I am beyond the age requirements!!! But only by a little... in space time anyway!!!

Funny you should say that, a while back I was looking at a similar award scheme run for retirees in the UK - as I'm still working (and struggling with that) I've put it on hold for a while until I've time to spare.

Graham, Sounds interesting, and something that might be worth looking into over here... but my time is always limited due to the many things I am already involved in so doubt I could do it justice.

Stay well,

Terry
