So around 1945. That’s great. Many thanks for taking the time to reply! -
Good evening, I seem to have had this award forever but don’t know much about these. I am assuming this is a genuine. I wondered if anybody could date this for me? The number inscribed on the back is 2068572. Many thanks!

Hi Mike, Thats great! Many thanks for the info and the help! Regards, Simon -

As you can see I have a broach bearing a small photograph, the broach says Mafeking. One of the cap badges is for the Finsbury Rifles but I cannot date this particular badge. The other two badges are the same, I cannot date or find the regiment but they bear the Latin motto: Motto: Honi soit qui mal y pense. Many thanks for any insights.
