Unidentified Ship`s Tampion.
Although not strictly a badge, I picked up this heavy brass ship`s tampion on the weekend, but have had no luck finding out which ship it`s from. I`ve unscrewed it, but nothing on the back, possibly WW1, but not really sure. Any help would be great.
Thanks, Martin. |

It's HMS Caesar.

Hi David,
HMS Caesar was my first thought, but the head didn`t seem to match the ones that I saw. Maybe they did variations ?? Martin. |

Hi Martin,
It's a Roman head, & offhand I can't think of any other RN ship that would fit other than Caesar. Is it from a tampion or is it possibly a badge from one of her launches? David. |

Quick update on the tampion, it`s from HMS Prometheus and pre 1919. So happy days...
