RM Commando Pin/Badge

[Alex W]

Hello all,

Sorry if I've posted this to the wrong section. My grandfather was a Royal Marines Commando during the 50's and 60's. I have been going through his stuff and came across this RM Commando pin/badge. Does anyone know whether its an issue or private purchase item?

Thanks
Alex

Looks to be a button hole badge ,most likely brought to wear on his civ clothes

Thanks kradman, I was thinking it was something along those lines.

Hi Alex you are welcome still a nice piece and better that it is a family piece

[Alex W]

Thanks kradman. I have a few items from his service days which will never leave my possession. I just hope my son has the same interest in family history.

Private purchase Veterans item worn on civvies.
