This is my oldest badge. Used in 1938 it was an undated issue with no known variations. Aside from the possibility of ending up with a fake or repro badge the badge has the added difficulty of having no date label being early in the badge days I guess they decided they didn’t need one. As as this time there were only two camps in operation and Skegness had been running for just 2 years.
The badge was made by Thomas Fattorini and is stamped on the rear with the makers mark. It is a bit tarnished but the pin is in place, the enamel unchipped and for a small badge that is over 71 years old that is surprisingly good condition.
