Title Royal Marines bullion blazer badge
Nationality British
Period c 1970s
Price £15.00

This would have been (and still could be) worn on a civilian blazer along with flat gilt Royal Marines buttons - perhaps at veterans' reunions etc.

I think this is a Pakistani bullion badge, probably from the mid-70s or later. There is a considerable contrast with the quality of the work on other bullion badges I bought with this, viz the bullion Royal Marines sleeve badge. The bullion insignia is mounted on a dark blue woollen backing.

Its condition is excellent. It doesn't look as though it has ever been mounted on a blazer.

If you want to comment on this item—re quality, age, etc—please email me.

Yes, arrived safe and sound, very nice, and very interesting. Have a couple of friends in the States slavering over the pictures, one of them loves searching old lists, etc. If I can tie it down more definitely will let you know.
