Bamareb Posted February 3, 2021 Share #1 Posted February 3, 2021 Have searched around a while and can’t pinpoint this so wondering if any ideas from the experts here. It is more like a patch/badge than a pin. Measures about 2 inches by 2 inches. The wreath and leaves have a bullion-type construction to it. Any help appreciated.

Proud Kraut Posted February 3, 2021 Share #2 Posted February 3, 2021 Helle Bamareb and welcome to the WMF! Looks like a maritime hat insignia with the English St Georg´s cross on the left flag. I found a similar one labeled as "Merchant Navy Officer Peaked Cap Insignia" but I´m not sure if this is the right designation (if you search the net for "Merchant navy insignia" you´ll get all kind of different hits.) But maybe this could be a start for further researches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamareb Posted February 4, 2021 Author Share #3 Posted February 4, 2021 Thanks—i searched through and that probably gets me in the right direction. I have one with the crown over it but think this is not english....i do think european of some sort though. I am gonna try that search with some different countries and see what else incan find. Thanks for the suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
