I was going through my grandmother's things that were given to me and came across this badge.
From what i remember she gave it to me when I was about 9 or 10 and said it came from he father.
He was an infantry man who started the war by landed on the beach in Normandy and fought for nearly a year before getting wounded in the leg. When he was sent home this was one of many items he brought with him, she said. He had four children (including my grandma) and gave each of them some of the things he brought back. My grandma choose this badge and two other medals (which I am going to have to find). I think my cousins have them!!! Anyway, I was looking it up on-line and couldn't find anything about silver ones except that they were made but not many. I also read they were only given to higher ranking officers or SS. Any help id appreciated.
Thanks Matthew
