Hi. I'm fairly sure it was used in a film but can't remember which one. Not a real WW2 badge anyway. Regards, Andrew.

Eye of the Needle 1981 based on the novel by Ken Follet
Home Guard designator CIS XIV
Also seen worn by a HG Lt Col in the 1946 film 'School for Secrets'.

I must stop writing my posts in invisible ink!
Or perhaps there is a time delay?
