Please can you help with identifying this badge. All I know is that it has been in our family for over 40 years (apparently it used to belong to a great uncle).

It is enamel and stamped "sterling" on the reverse.

Approx Dimensions :-
Length of pin - 32mm
Length of flag - 13mm
Height of flag - 10mm
Weight - 2 grams

Any help would be gratefully received.

Thank you very I knew he was in the Navy but that's all. I can now research this badge.

These are usually called 'Sweetheart' pins or brooches and were popular during wartime and often worn by wives and girlfriends of serving personnel.
