Default Unknown British Naval Officers Cap Badge

Hello,

Got this lovely Naval cap badge in a job lot of bullion badges today but cannot recall seeing one like it.

It has the letters N.M around the anchor.

Can anyone identify it please. It will be for sale after identification.

regards

Default Unknown Naval Officers Cap Badge

I can confirm that it is a cap badge for the Nigerian Marine. I have written about the Nigerian Marine on here before and a brief history can be found at: -
