Graham Stewart Posted 20 November , 2009 Share Posted 20 November , 2009 To be honest it doesn't look military to me and wonder if it's associated with either sheep rearing or best in a County Show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Broomfield Posted 20 November , 2009 Share Posted 20 November , 2009 It's not an underworl badge in honour of taking part in a certain number of ram raids? I do wonder, though - does the bar with colours have any relevance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Marshall Posted 20 November , 2009 Share Posted 20 November , 2009 The colours would put you in mind of the Mercantile Marine War Medal.

chris mccarthy Posted 11 December , 2009 Share Posted 11 December , 2009 I think it's a Ram from Young's Brewery late of Wandsworth, now unfortunately of Bedford. I believe they gave a badge or tie to any one who had a pint at each their pubs and had a card signed by each the landlords. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
