Eddie, that pin does not look as if it is designed for an Agal. The pin is almost horizontal, which would make it very difficult to pin through both ropes of the Agal.

The landmass indeed seems China, the island to the east is Taiwan.

Could the crown be a Maharajah's crown - and could there be an association with the Bikaner Camel Corps? Mike

Hi Eddie....just a thought about this badge. Could it have something to do about when Italy was occupying Libya......the crown looks a lot like the House of Savoy's crown......

See post 12 above - as far as I am concerned it is a fantasy piece based on a Taiwanese Combined Operations Breast Badge, I was simply pointing out that the one I had is not the only one in the world.

Rather like the Arab legion badge then?

In any case I don't think it's designed to be worn on anything other than a collectors case.

Passing through one rope of the agal is sufficient, see my Arab Legion badge.
