Default Help to Identify Badge

Hi
I wonder if anybody could tell me what this badge is.
I thought it might be Anti Aircraft but I can't find a reference to it.

Would be nice if items identified here could be offered here first before elsewhere.

P.B.

Agreed Peter. The person asking about identifications/valuations should be asked if the item is going to be offered for sale. Then the Forum members can decide if they wish to assist.

Hi
I'm very sorry if I've caused offense to anyone. This certainly wasn't my intention.
I now realise I should have stated that it was my intention to sell the badge when listing.
I wouldn't have asked regarding valuation as I realise this is not generally encouraged on many forums.
As I'm not an expert on military badges I felt it was best for me to list on an open market.
Once again I apologise if I have caused any offense.
Robbo

At least he only asked for identification and if genuine, the SP was reasonable ??

Just a thought !

If you are truly sorry, pull it from eBay and offer it to the forum. If there is no response, put it back on eBay.
That is the true test of your contrition.

If I was Robbo I'd take offence at this post as it infers that what he says isn't genuine.

This thread is going the same way as most go on this subject, whether Robbo should have explained the situation before he acted or not is chicken feed compared to the real events/problems happening in the world today.

Possibly it is time for people to take a step back and having thought about it, find something serious to debate, I'm lucky in respect of the fact that I have friends I can ask for both identification and value, others might not be in the same position !

I sincerely wish that the only thing I had to worry about was Robbo's actions, there is a lot more going on !

Dave.
