WW2 lapel badge

Post by SheffieldSparky »

Hi guys, Had a couple of hrs sunday morning on my fav east coast beach, a few bits and bobs and this WW2 merchant navy lapel badge. It was in one piece when I found it but after getting the crud off it fell apart, 2nd photo is general clean,1st after I soldered the back on and a bit more cleaning.[turns out its one of the original silver ones] Its not the find of the century but why I love this hobby ::g
