[QUOTE="Greenhornet_au, post: 333022, member: 8767"] GH here. Kato in school so I thought I would call the makers of the Badge that she found. Amor Badge Co Pty Ltd [url]http://www.amor.com.au/contact.mibiznez[/url] I sense they have great pride in their work and what they do. Spoke to a very nice and polite gentleman that had so much knowledge and patience. The ' RETURNED FROM ACTIVE SERVICE " is definitely WW2 service, the number on the back is an individual number to the badge and records were made at the time of delivery to the individual. BUT they were not linked to the Service Serial number of individuals. ( bugger ) Apparently the box arrived, you would reach in and get yours, and the number would be recorded against just your name. These records were taken to Canberra. So the problem is that a search is done in reverse, by the badge number - to the name, a LOT of names. She needs to get the list of names and go through it until she finds the badge number attached to a name ! Using a Service persons Serial number or Name search it would be quick to find. So we still may be able to find the owner, the gentleman at Amor did suggest a couple of alternative methods but they will all take time and a lot of effort for Kato to achieve her goal. Interestingly he was also very much into coin collecting and values :Y: [/QUOTE]
