Default Winged Crowned Skull Bullion Blazer Patch

This may not be Military, but I am keen to find out what it is. The inscription states " Vardum Ad Portus Inferi". With a Crowned and Winged Skull, plus Crossed Swords. Any thoughts welcome, regards, Clive.

The inscription seems to be taken from Hezekiah's hymn (Jes. 38, 10-20).

Thank you Luc, wonder if this patch is religious. I have owned it for years, but have never been able to find out what it represents. It is an interesting design, but what for? Kind regards, Clive.

I did the same Philip, but thank you for trying. You may be on the right track, but as yet I have not been able to find anything definitive. Kind regards, Clive.
