Major General Bil4338 Posted September 19, 2016 Major General Posted September 19, 2016 As posted above, I'm looking for clarification on these badges.top is obviously British, but for what/whom? bottom looks British-made, but for what unit/armed force? any help gratefully received! 1
Davejb Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 At first thought, It could be a Sgt Majors wrist band insignia ,possibly Engineers, but I, dont think I,ve seen one like it before. The other two look like foreign insignias possibly middle eastern, the stars and crescent moon, they are definately puzzling 1
Major General Bil4338 Posted September 20, 2016 Author Major General Posted September 20, 2016 What I thought too...not in any insignia ref. books I own.someone somewhere must know!
Guest Fred Karno's Army Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 Maybe just a locally produced brigade or divisional insignia,for some niggling reason I keep thinking Persian.No idea why though !.Although the colours would suggest Indian or Pakistan,dunno .
HetzersGonnaHetz Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 I concur with thine statement Paul ^^^ I had a look in my handbook, because why not ;), and there's nothing like that at Regimental level in the British section. 1
HetzersGonnaHetz Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 The badge at the top, could it be 'Life Guards'?
Mav352 Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 @Bil4338 had a little time during my night shift for a quick Google, I can't find that specific patch but it came up with the flag of Singapore. I wonder if it's from There? 1
Major General Bil4338 Posted September 22, 2016 Author Major General Posted September 22, 2016 That's a good match, apart from the pedantic aspect that turned around, the star cluster is slightly awry.however, you never know if foreign quality control dictates the accuracy of military emblems..!! 1
Davejb Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 We were,nt far out seeing it could be Asian,,, but I think that actually makes sense, British troops in Singapore could well have picked these up, I,d be inclined to think this was case solved. 1

Hope this helps narrow it down a bit. Edited September 22, 2016 by Mav352 1
Davejb Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 Never even thought about police insignias, but now its solved plus a learning curve for the future 1 1
Mav352 Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 Just goes to show that "you never can tell" what you will find. ? (Trouble is now I really want to find out exactly what it is). 2
Mav352 Posted September 25, 2016 Posted September 25, 2016 @Bil4338 I have found this link to a Singaporean collection, the patches are shown in one of his pictures but that part is under construction atm.http://kitinsignia.tripod.com/singaporepoliceforceinsigniacollections/. Maybe we will find out what they are one day. 1
Desert Rat Posted November 6, 2018 Posted November 6, 2018 Sorry to you all I missed this, But all your answers seem to agree. I will try and find out and let you know. Mind you the others who answered you are very knowlegdable with insignia. Best to you all...Desert Rat
