It really is satisfying to find a badge for which you've looked for years!
This is my latest addition - apologies for the quality of the photo - a
Corps Charlotte badge (c.1940-60) worn by, amongst others - the Free Luxembourgers in WWII and "more commonly" the 78 Luxembourgish soldiers who served in the Korean War.
The quality of the manufacturing (higher than often seen) and the metal used makes me lean towards an earlier date for this particular example.
Here is a rare colour picture of a Luxembourgish soldier wearing it, c.1953:
My very sincere thanks must go to
Voltigeur for spotting this on US ebay and giving me the tip-off! It was also a very reasonable price
Best wishes,
