Taz Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Welcome Jeremy, At first glance it looked like the Royal Devonshire Yeomanry Cap badge but the lion is facing the wrong way, maybe a collar badge? Regards Eddie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Turner Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 Thx Eddie ... It is 1.75" in height, bronzed chrome colour with 2 vertical lug pins on the back .... ... maybe not a cap badge, then ..... a collar badge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Hi again, well i would say it's the left hand collar badge of the Royal Devonshire Yeomanry but that is only my humble opinion Regards Eddie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mervyn Mitton Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Jeremy - welcome to GMIC. I tend to agree with Eddie's description - the Crown is either for George 5th or, 6th.. The Crowned Lion is also used within a number of Police Forces. Mervyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Turner Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share Posted September 8, 2012 Thx Mervyn. I was told it was a police badge rather than a military badge ... any idea which UK force? Do we have a police badge specialist here? Thx in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mervyn Mitton Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Jeremy possibly one of the Midlands Police Forces - they seemed to like the Lion over Crown. Perhaps one of the Forces around Birmingham or, Liverpool. It is not a rank badge - more likely an officer's cap badge. Mervyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
