Jersey Bouy Posted May 18, 2020 Posted May 18, 2020 Picked this up in a large group of assorted pins and badges. Was able to determine it was Kingdom or Jugoslavia but that was it. it measures about 1 1/4" by 1 3/8" It is non magnetic. Does anyone know the time period it was used and where it would have been worn and by whom? Thank you very much in advance.
OvBacon Posted May 18, 2020 Posted May 18, 2020 Please try to take a photo that is in focus on a single color background.
OvBacon Posted May 18, 2020 Posted May 18, 2020 I'm also curious as to why you believe it it be from the Kingdom of Yugoslavia? Even Though I would need a clearer image to see better the fact that the badge has the Pillars of Hercules points more towards Spain or South/Central America
Jersey Bouy Posted May 18, 2020 Author Posted May 18, 2020 Thank you for your reply. It has K J on the front in the shield. The only thing I could think of was Kingdom Jugoslavia
OvBacon Posted May 18, 2020 Posted May 18, 2020 Unless someone recognizes the badge offhand it would be good to have a sharp image of the crest or describe it. It looks like on the bottom there is a K and J with a rose in between (is it a rose?) Top is there an A in the center or an Eye of Providence? what is on the top left and right and in the center of the crest?
Jersey Bouy Posted May 18, 2020 Author Posted May 18, 2020 At the top center of the crest is a 5 pointed stat with rays projecting out. At the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions there appears to be a small crown. Along the bottom there is K, a stemmed rose, and a J. On the left pillar are the letters "plus" and on the right pillar the letters "ultra" I found a picture of basically the same crest on line unidentified also. Except mine has the crown above the eagles heads.
OvBacon Posted May 18, 2020 Posted May 18, 2020 (edited) OK, so the badge is Peruvian. Probably a crest of the city of Lima. I found the zippo lighter from the above image and it shows the crest of Peru with a peruvian lady on the opposite side. Edited May 18, 2020 by OvBacon
Jersey Bouy Posted May 18, 2020 Author Posted May 18, 2020 Well, that settled that. Thank you very much for your help. Nice lighter, too..
