If you search internet BMP brass title on internet there is a reference to Northern Rhodesia badges & BMP title but on going to the page I cannot find the title in the huge list of badges - Ray

Thanks Ray, It makes sense that it may be from that region.

I think that it may well be a Basutoland Mounted Police title. It is quite similar to 3616 in Owen's book ( The Military Badges and Insignia of Southern Africa )

Thanks. Appears that this title is from that area.

Hi Bill, is the badge from Basutoland or Burma? Andrew

Sorry, didn't make my response clear. I am thinking, given the material that it came with, that it is from Southern Africa.
