Have recently purchased a tin of badges and am working my way through them, does anyone know what this is, possibly Belgian?

There are some beauties in there.

Belgian Army in Exile WW2 is the one you ask about.

Lion is not a British made example but a Belgian made example after the liberation of Belgium, so late war and not worn by the Belgian army in exile in the UK

Hi Stef,
Quick question, I have the same Lion in a lot I bought last week but the fixings on the rear are 2 wire pins, any ideas? Still post Liberation of Belgium? Thanks Gary
