    Is this a "tinnie" . . . if not, what is it?


    Recommended Posts

    I have had this badge for some time, now, though I am at a loss to know precisely what it is and how to classify it. The badge is stamped from thin metal, of a dark colour, though there could be traces of gilding on the flag. It is 45mm wide and has a rudimentary brooch pin fastening . It looks to be of German origin and it came to me as a badge manufactured by the Germans for Royal Marines prisoners of war.

    Has anyone come across this sort of thing before - does anyone have information that would confirm this background story or is it just another of those fables?

    As usual, any information will be appreciated,

    Brian
