Title: POSSABLE BADGE OR MEDAL Post by: DIGGA on April 23, 2009, 08:38:02 PM hi a neighbour dug this up in his front garden i took the pic next to a £1 coin to show the size. it looks to be made of brass and the numbers on the bottom seem to read 403. the 3 shields on top are well worn but the one on the right looks to have the letters BR or poss BH. NICE FIND THO THANKS

Title: Re: POSSABLE BADGE OR MEDAL Post by: Tafflaff (Rob) on April 23, 2009, 10:53:21 PM I've looked through all the UK badges , insignias......nothing.
Title: Re: POSSABLE BADGE OR MEDAL Post by: simon c on April 23, 2009, 11:10:30 PM Did try googling it but nothing,it does have a German or european look to it,could it be an airforce insignia badge,403 being the squadron or unit ? ::)
Title: Re: POSSABLE BADGE OR MEDAL Post by: hedgehog on April 24, 2009, 05:32:02 AM Just a thought guys , but is it something that would have been given away with a comic? Eagle perhaps?
Title: Re: POSSABLE BADGE OR MEDAL Post by: DIG IT! (ADIE) on April 24, 2009, 07:14:11 PM Thats a real puzzler ???
Title: Re: POSSABLE BADGE OR MEDAL Post by: Gadget(Ian) on April 24, 2009, 08:25:24 PM i never seen anything like it dont now where to start looking.but a interesting find all the same.
Title: Re: POSSABLE BADGE OR MEDAL Post by: simon c on April 25, 2009, 07:50:00 AM Still not found a match,some of the Polish WW2 air force insignia have an eagle and the 3 lightning forks,i'm fairly sure it's got something to do with millitary aviation,any chance of a better picture and one of the back Digga.
Title: Re: POSSABLE BADGE OR MEDAL Post by: Tafflaff (Rob) on April 25, 2009, 08:29:29 AM I've managed to darken it a little.
Title: Re: POSSABLE BADGE OR MEDAL Post by: hedgehog on April 25, 2009, 10:24:42 AM The quality of the metal doesn't look to good , that's why i think it may be comic book stuff, is it pewter?
Title: Re: POSSABLE BADGE OR MEDAL Post by: ROMAN STEVE on June 15, 2009, 06:32:41 PM That is nice and unusual
Title: Re: POSSABLE BADGE OR MEDAL Post by: Jonola (Jon) on June 15, 2009, 08:56:04 PM Very interesting and very puzzling. Looks European as has been previously stated. How heavy is it?
Title: Re: POSSABLE BADGE OR MEDAL Post by: the sutt on June 15, 2009, 11:03:58 PM i think its a badge digger, nice find.
Title: Re: POSSABLE BADGE OR MEDAL Post by: Chef Geoff on June 15, 2009, 11:52:53 PM This one is really bugging me as being ex army I know I have seen those lightening flashes before on US soldiers but I cant remember what it meant. the Eagle is American and I guess the 403 relates to the 403 rd Regiment or Battalion.
I'm not stumped yet...but close Chef |
