I found this silver badge while hunting today and would like to who or what it represents so
if anyone recognizes it please leave a comment.
Thanks,
Chris.

Edit:
I have since discovered that I have a small silver badge (or brooch) made in Birmingham in 1934 by James Fenton & Co. This badge found it's way to New Zealand only to be lost in a large central park in the city of Auckland where it was found by an amateur metal detectorist on a fine Friday morning.

PS: The whole hunt is on my blog - see below.
