Default Help

Hello all,

I'm not too great with technology but I'm going to have a go at posting some items for identification.

Hopefully, I have uploaded two photos of a gilding metal thistle badge with a slider?

Any help would be appreciated. I am not looking to sell them.


Maurice.

Not one I recognise so unless it's a really obscure VTC badge or something equally unrecorded then it's not British.
