Steve Newman Posted 2 April , 2011 Share Posted 2 April , 2011 Hi Gents, A friend of mine found the attached badge in a field in rural Essex with a metal detector. Its of standard cap badge size and has a single slider on the back. It does not ring any bells to me, and certainly looks first world war era. Is it possible a university OTC or some such like? Any suggestions most welcome Kind regards Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPT Posted 2 April , 2011 Share Posted 2 April , 2011 I wonder if it's connected to Warwick School OTC. "Altoria Peto" (I seek higher things) was the school motto, and a portcullis was part of their school badge. Unfortunately, I can't find an example.

Steve Newman Posted 2 April , 2011 Author Share Posted 2 April , 2011 Yes IPT I also was thinking along those lines, but have to say the crown appears to be unusual as well, certainly not a standard Britisg one that I know of Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piorun Posted 3 April , 2011 Share Posted 3 April , 2011 It is a rather odd-looking crown. More like a plum pudding than a King's Crown - which is what I take it to be. Yours, Antony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
