Some recent Police badges acquired.
Here is a small group of Police badges that came as part of a collection which I recently purchased.Three of the badges being Kenyan. The badge with the shield marked K.S.P was Id'd in the group as Kenya Special Police, not sure exactly what that entails. The circular badge surrounded by wreath is Id'd as Basutoland Mounted Police "BMP"

Evening Jack
Nice collection there: the "BMP" is, as you say, Basutoland - now Lesotho - Mounted Police. I don't think the "KSP" is Kenyan, I'm sure there is a thread discussing this and it comes from India/Pakistan, though I could be wrong. Best Graham

Hello Graham, thanks for the heads up on the KSP badge. I will look a bit further on this, and will post some other Police badges that came from the group. Nothing earth shaking but good examples.
Best to you in the Holidays Jack

Some others from the group. First is the Khartoum Police "Sudan". Second is Port Sudan Police. If I recall the Khartoum badge was discussed a while back in another thread. Both are 2 lugged E & W on back.
If the Id's are off please chime in with any correction, all input is welcome. Best Jack
