It doesn't appear to be any papal decoration, none of the Vatican's official decorations have this format, they are all breast stars, in addition it appears that he is also wearing the Prince Alfons commemorative badge, correct?

I’ve got a guess Terry… American Red Cross volunteer. This 👇 is a 1940’s era pin badge, seems yours could be a homemade version ? tony 🍻

Terry, that looks fantastic mate. A fine effort! Can you explain to me the arrangement? I get that certain tartan ‘goes’ with certain badges but particularly I’m curious how RAMC badges connect with the particular tartan… I know there isn’t a SRAMC 😊 tony 🍻

I picked this one up in the UK hoping it was some odd Medics trade badge. It came with a nice large RAMC brass title. I have searched high and low and for the life of me, I cannot identify it. I have searched Army, Navy and Boy Scouts for the world, but have found nothing with the blue circle??? In construction it looks WW1 era and is small, the size of a typical Canadian trade badge or that of a US quarter. Perhaps a fantasy patch, a home made one off or possibly a Royal Naval Division medic's patch??? Any help is appreciated.

Howdy All, I have sent Magdy Hanafy payment for 3 copies of his book. One copy is already earmarked for EJ, so there are still 2 copies available. Because he selected a wire transfer, my cost for each book is $108 (still below the $150 +$50 shipping thorough Shehabcoin on eBay). He will receive the money after 30 April, when his bank releases it to him. Please send me a personal message (through "Messages" here on GMIC or my email address in my profile) if you wish to get one of the remaining copies and we can arrange the most economical shipping. Cheers, Rusty

Such an interesting story surrounding Carl Edward, well worth looking up. There was it seems only one grade given to foreigners and it was not freely awarded… Re your quest, I could only find this reference to permission to wear it, but it’s not available on line unfortunately I thought I’d found an interesting thread on GMIC for you but you are in it yourself, it was a while ago mind ! Cheers tony🍻

When the ATS was first created they did not yet have a uniform and when they did it took time to get them fully issued. In he mean time the ATS girls wore their civilian clothes with an official small silver badge with the their number stamped on the back. This pin/badge identified them as members of the ATS. a nice badge to have for any ATS collection. An old picture and the London patch is actually upside down, as the sword shoudl point up. My silver badge is the small one next to it. Terry

Check this out... https://www.ebay.de/itm/393891922824 I don´t have an idea... Maybe the Militär-Sanitäts-Orden? https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Militär-Sanitäts-Orden The medal was received from 1914-1921. Maybe he received it after the war?

I think it may be a Papal States order such as the Order of St. Sylvester. Close-up shots are needed to be sure.

Thanks Tony! Sorry I am just now seeing this. I have since finished the project and am now working my Canadian and Sout African Scottish displays. Two years of research, seeking badges and tartan and finally got it done.

Hello! I think, P.F. means the "badge" he wears BELOW the EKI on the photo which we see in the show case. Could we have a close-up please?

Hi Gents, I’ve got a possible match… I found this one first as I was looking into this 👆 I found a second related award👇 The bars end ribbon doesn’t have the red stripe and looks white/grey… this one is grey/white with that red stripe. - Maybe it is that heavily faded. Even if it’s not the same it is surely for another related one 🤷‍♂️ assuming my first identification is accurate 🤞 Grey and white ribbon & with them both for similar services, the similarity is too much to be coincidence in my opinion 🤞 tony 🍻
