Very nice! As a collector of Customs badges I appreciate seeing it, and one which I've not previously had sight of.

The whole island prior to it ceasing to be a Colony. The SBA have a different badge for their wallet. The cap badge has always been of the HM C & E design in bullion wire. See photo of the current warrant badge.

Jerry,
I can't identify your very attractive badge. It could be a pre. 1960 Customs badge, but I would have expected it to actually say "Cyprus Customs". Please feel free to copy the SBA warrant badge image. Dave. |

The Cyprus Regiment was raised in 1940 and disbanded in 1950 so there were no QC badges.
