Greek?

[Sonofacqms]

I recently acquired this badge and I think it's Greek, the loops have been cropped off but they do seem to be of the type used on British and Commonwealth badges.

Has anyone any idea what it is?

Thanks in advance

Hi Rob

Despite being well outside my comfort zone this rang a definite bell . It is Edinburgh Academy [Contingents of the Junior Division (Infantry Units)] (Cox P231 #1884). Pity someone's chopped the lugs off .

All the best

As Chacal says it's Edinburgh Academy Officer Training Corps. Seceral die versions exist but there is no known chronological order.

Mine is here:

I would send it to dave for repair. It's worth £20-30 even with replaced lugs.

Many thanks chaps for your answers, I bought it with a small job lot of items and I will get some loops put on.

Regards Rob

But the motto is ancient greek indeed. It means : "Education is the mother of wisdom and virtue" (Food to think for next week-end ....)
