Default Help ID some badges

Hi All,
Needing help again. Attached are 3 photos of badges that I found recently. The First is a Warrant Officer 1 from Bophuthatswana (old RSA “independent” homeland), but is it Defence Force or Police??
The next is suspect is an African country Warrant Officer (1?) badge but have no idea which country.
The 3rd I have absolutely no idea what it is.

Can anybody help please?

Neville

Hi Neville
Sorry I can't help you, I really haven't got a clue about these. The only thing I can say is that the 3rd one looks European to me with that crown. Maybe try the general section for unidentified badges...?
Cheers,
Alex

Neville,

I've just joined the forum and am going through existing posts and came across this one.

You're quite right that it's an African country. The coat of arms is Swaziland's

Hi Neville
The first badge is a Bophutatswana emblem. I have the same in my collection for their Police in metal for a Police Sargeant Major. I suspect that yours might be army. The second badge as has been pointed out is Swaziland, suspect that it might be their army Sgt Maj. Last badge I agree with Alex, looks european. Trust this helps
