Nice hand engraving on the wings ect . The show was not bad as there were a couple of collectors who had tables so you got to see some new items rather than the same stuff some of the dealers always bring.

You would not know were I could any info on the badge or the guys who were interpreters ??

Does anyone have a definitive answer as to whether these were worn by the British Army or not. I read something a couple of years ago about this type of badge but cannot remember where as it was at the time outwith my collecting. I have subsequently acquired 2 badges (1 large & 1 small). I like the badges in their own right, regardless, but it would be good to place them.
