Can anyone help me identify this badge?

[cati]

No scan available, I'm afraid...

We think this is European:  a cap badge or a shoulder title.  The device is a crowned lion rampant, holding an axe. The crown appears to be three pointed.

The attachment to the uniform/cap is by two threaded rods, which presumably had nuts to complete the attachment.

Have any of you goodly folk any idea what it might be, or point me in the right direction to find out?

Any more clues, please? what year does it date from, do you know?

[cati]

No idea on date: the badge is brass or similar.  It may possibly be WW2.

Good grief.... it is indeed the Norwegian lion rampant.

Thanks muchly:  we have now a better idea of where to look...
