Hi i have here from my collection a lovely heavy badge in enamel i have only came to the conclusion after many years that it belongs to the Canadian pacific Railway Co would be interesting to know who and where it would have been worn the enamel quality is something else the marks are to replicate a weathered life ring

What you have there is a lifeboat number badge that had to be worn by steamship crew members on the Canadian Pacific Railway's steamship line. Crew members were assigned to a particular lifeboat and these badges were used to identify which.

Hi, I just came across this post and wanted to add that I have one as well which is marked 28. Is there anywhere I can go to find out more info and history on this piece. Thanks!
