**Historical Overview for Collectors:

** An exceptional, guaranteed 100% original period piece of Rhodesian military history. This badge depicts the iconic lion walking atop an elephant tusk over a decorative "RHODESIA" scroll. It was used by the Rhodesian Staff and General Service Corps. Because it carries the premium "Firmin London" hallmark on the back, it dates to the highly collectible early era, when Rhodesian forces relied on prestigious British diesinkers for uniform adornments before domestic production constraints took over. Finding these with clean front finishes and unbroken lugs on the reverse is becoming increasingly difficult. A stellar addition to any Southern African or Commonwealth militaria collection.
