It looks a bit Italian to me perhaps, the axe and olive branch could hint that way. Enigmatic little bugger.
I agree, IMO . Never seen one before but the axe head points in that direction.

Whatever it is, it is a private piece, not stamped but rather hand cut from a flat sheet of metal, then hand engraved/decorated on the obverse.
Trench art?

Looks a bit to fine to be trench art.
Judging from the symbolism and style of the design, it's not German. Otherwise, no idea.
I'm guessing it's Polynesian or something.........

Hi, To all those who took the time out to respond to my question. I greatly appreciate both the sugestions and opinions on this badge. I hadn't considered Italian but who knows, certainly not me thats for sure!! Thank you all once again!!
With thanks, regards and best wishes Michael Ryan
I actually believe this is a piece of Italian trench-art...with a North African theme.
cheers, Glenn
