Cyprus British Colony Arm Badge
This is a brass arm badge originating from the Cyprus British Colony, specifically associated with the Shepherds of Limasol. The badge features a prominent central “S” within a circular frame, and is marked with the number “L 2059” around the lower edge. This style of badge was likely worn by personnel or members of the Shepherds organisation during the colonial period, circa 1960-1963, representing affiliation and service.
Condition and Collectibility
The badge exhibits signs of age and wear consistent with its period and likely use. The brass shows patina and some surface wear, but the central “S” and the numerical marking remain legible. This badge would be of interest to collectors of British colonial memorabilia, Cypriot history, or those interested in the Shepherds organisation of Limasol, offering a tangible piece of the island’s past.
