Default DEFCON LONDON maker’s back-mark on Kenya Prisons cap badge

Good afternoon

This is primarily for those members interested in the minutiae of maker’s back-marks on badges etc.: I recently received this Kenya Prisons Service chromed cast metal cap badge which bears on the slider a new/unusual (to me) back-mark “DEFCON LONDON”, approx. 22mm long x 1.7mm high.

Hopefully someone might find this of use

Graham

Probably a retailer rather than a manufacturer.

I agree Dave - I meant to add supplier/retailer but forgot.

All the best

Hi Graham,

Hope you are surviving. With luck our paths may cross at a meeting some time this year!

Best wishes, Dave.
