Any idea what this or who this relates to?

It's about the size of a 10p piece with a fixed crescent back to it.

Any info on age/price etc appreciated.

No idea. Are you sure it's even a football badge?

No sure without looking it up, but dont Benfica have something like that on their badge?

Dorking- can only assume it is a football badge as it came in a box which was only football badges.

Pablo - does look similar to Benfica, but alas, I don't think it is.

Could be Crystal Palace. The wings are normally symmetrical on Lazio badges in the shape of a ''V''

Cheers Cossie, but Dorking is a Palace fan so pretty certain he;d have mentioned them if it was them.

In addition, it's not Lazio either.

Still looking Sherlock

Like your thinking, but can't find anything remotely like it on Google images.

I fear it will never be identified......

I have a feeling your badge is a very early edition of this badge currently on ebay.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FRIENDS-.....500wt_1156

It says it's a 'Friends of the RAF association badge. Given yours looks older it might be worth a few bob.

Cheers for that, certainly the closest match so far.

If it is worth a few quid.........bonus!

If not.......hey ho!

Cheers
