Small RNAS Armoured Car Badge for opinions
Happy Easter Everyone
I recently picked up the small RNAS badge pictured below, the description and picture on the site weren't very good and although I expected it to be a small version I thought it may turn up with a brooch type fitting as in a sweetheart's badge. When I received the badge it turned out to have 2 lugs. It is approx. 25mm wide by 30mm tall, well made and the lugs and braze around them also look good. It cost me just over £6 so I am not too worried if it is a duff badge. Either way I am going to keep it but would just appreciate opinions on what it was actually made for. Many thanks in advance Paddy |

I have two similar badges (small size) one gilt finish, obviously a sweetheart brooch and the other with a pin, which I was informed was "an old comrades" badge, although no proof.

Many thanks, I did see your 2 when I did a quick search before posting but was curious as to why mine had lugs as opposed to a brooch fastening. Paddy |

Hi Paddy
I remember seeing a photograph on ebay, quite a while ago, where a guy was wearing a smaller version badge on his collar, unfortunately I did not obtain it. John |

Many thanks, so there is a chance that this small badge was actually worn on uniform and may not be a sweetheart, any ideas why the distinct difference in size. Paddy |

Hi Paddy
No idea. The photograph on ebay did not show the rank of the person wearing the badge, but it certainly was not a young rating by the cut of the dress. John |
