Default East Africa and Uganda Protectorate 1914

Gents,

I've had this badge for awhile now and am wondering if anyone has any information about it (when worn, military or police) as I couldn't see it mentioned in the excellent British Colonial Badges Vol 1 and 2?

Appreciate any help.

Paul

Looks like an ASC within the circle. Army Service Corps related? Some East Africa collectors should be able to explain...

Looks like a sweetheart/souvenir piece, made from an ASC cap badge and a local coin.

Gents,

Thanks for all the replies and excellent investigative work.

Indeed it looks like an sweetheart/souvenir piece.

I'm amazed at the perfect melding of a coin and the ASC badge.

Something unusual that I'm pleased to identify.

Thanks again

Paul
