There is a book online for US$265 (AUD$373) that I'm selling for AUD$105 new. There will always be people who will put extraordinary prices on items and hoping that some clown will buy them and sometimes some clown does buy them.

The following link (from this forum) has an interesting thread on these badges

https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo...ht=interpreter

Here are a couple I have, a large and small, bought separately.

Does anyone else have concerns about these badges? For a badge that surely wouldn't have been produced in any great numbers it is surprising just how often they show up. The use of the wire method of attachment seems to consistent in the different examples otherwise they have the military type loops. To me they are more common than I'd have expected.

Do we know this was ever a badge issued by the British to their interpreters?

Hi Rob,

Yours on the sleeve looks to be an exact match for mine with the prongs
