I have had this quite roughly cast bronze pin or ash tray for several years.

I know that the N.P.A. was formed in 1915, to raise the Newfoundland

Regiment.  The V for Victory theme, would seem to be more of the

WW2 period.  There is a faint pencil note on the label, possibly a price

and the No. 655, may represent a limited quantity made.  Can any of our

Canadian or even Newfoundland Chums comment?  How it found it's

way to a rural Northamptonshire car boot sale, is anybody's guess.

As a follow up to my op, have discovered that the 'nafco' logo/trademark was not

registered until February 1945, so a WW2 item.
