Terry37 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 (edited) I picked this one up in the UK hoping it was some odd Medics trade badge. It came with a nice large RAMC brass title. I have searched high and low and for the life of me, I cannot identify it. I have searched Army, Navy and Boy Scouts for the world, but have found nothing with the blue circle??? In construction it looks WW1 era and is small, the size of a typical Canadian trade badge or that of a US quarter. Perhaps a fantasy patch, a home made one off or possibly a Royal Naval Division medic's patch??? Any help is appreciated.

This 👇 is a 1940’s era pin badge, seems yours could be a homemade version ? tony 🍻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry, if you look at it as a red x instead of a red + you have, with the blue circle, the emblem of the Saint Andrew's Ambulance Association. In 1904 they formed the Saint Andrew's Ambulance Corps which had sections serving in France attached to the medical services in WW1. They would have worn standard British Army uniforms with Red Cross insignia so maybe you have a StAAC sleeve badge or something like that.
