Royal Norfolk Regiment Theatre made badge
In all my years collecting Norfolk (on and off) I've never had the chance until recently to pick up a theatre made 2nd WW Cap badge. I'd welcome any comments.

Thanks
Thanks Simon the assumption seems to be India, the 2nd served in Burma so it would make sense, but I was please to get it and on Fleabay too.

Always wondered about them - IMW.
Imperial Metal Works? Indian Manufacturing Works? no idea, just guessing. regards

Imperial is probably right, not sure about the MW?

Apparently Aligarh was a center for the manufacture of military badges etc. There are several known makers from that city.

thanks
https://www.indiamart.com/bellforgings/profile.html possibly it was Imperial Metal Works? Who knows, we will possibly never know for sure I'm happy to accept that they were made in India somewhere. Thanks for the comments, I'm pleased to have finally got one anyway and £20 on Ebay seemed ok given the rarity.
