Could anyone please tell me what this badge is supposed to be for? Please don't say lapel wear......
Thanks for your help.

Hi Tom, I have never even seen it before. It did not strike me as British until I looked closer at the coat of arms. Has an almost "Spanish" look to it, which it is not of course.

All I can offer is it is not military to the very best of my knowledge.

Cheers, Ade.

Thanks Ade. Looks Victorian, possibly commemorating some royal event?

Maybe it has a religious association with the crook, but not one I recognise Tom.

I agree with Jerry!...

Thanks Jerry, another avenue I can research. It's a nice, pretty well made badge. Bothers me not knowing...

Could simply be a family coat of arms.

An interesting pin, for sure. The Bishop's Crosier crossed with the Royal Scepter beneath the Coat of Arms of England....I think the key to identifying it is the black shield imposed in the middle of the Coat of Arms. Identify That and the rest should come.
