Also worn, at one time, by the Sovereign Base Areas Police (Cyprus). I have just started a thread on the same badge, before I saw this thread

I have 2 already and just bought a third.

I have 6 versions of this badge with different makers names. They were worn by Sovereign Base Areas Police (Cyprus), MOD Security, Various Government service departments and also used in film/tv roles for military units. There is also a silver colour version of this crown badge.
