    BRASS BELGIAN ARMY IN UNITED KINGDOM BADGE.


    Recommended Posts

    Hallo Gentlemen, :beer:

    Its always nice when you spot something on the net that relates to an unknown piece in your collection, :jumping: well I knew the country of origin, just didnt know what it was for.

    Over the weekend I spotted an item similar to one that has been in my possesion for many years, I was always under the impression it was a cap-badge :blush:

    Despite carrying the words "BELGIAN ARMY IN UNITED KINGDOM." it was issued to the Belgian Airforce and Navy in the U.K.

    Anyway the US seller of his item also posted a link to a webpage:

    http://belgianbadges4046.be/BE_UK.htm

    and the particular page pertaining to my insignia is at:

    http://belgianbadges4046.be/BEinUKBadge.htm

    explaining all about the item and many other pieces of Belgian Insignia.

    My piece has a wood backdrop, the American- piece as blue astroturf :speechless1:

    I believe mine to be a variant of the "GAUNT" type. the pin fixes at an angle across the badge, not in a straight line, it could also be the result of "Monday morning" syndrome :P

    First pictures of the front.
