Kings Own Lancaster?
Hi All,
any ideas on this pin badge. Looks like Kings Own Lancaster Regt but on the reverse has B.I.R.U.T. 1962 20240205_113126.jpg 20240205_113344.jpg TIA Iain

Googling shows it as a British Lions touring badge, of 1962.
Sally Bosley's site offered it as British Lions Rugby Touring pin badge South Africa (1938 date) at a hefty price. Presumably the number is a tour date not a badge serial number Last edited by leigh kitchen; 05-02-24 at 10:22 AM. |
