    Yes, these were for enamel cap badges in the same way as BR totem cap badges - we have seen ones for Driver (with our Museum's President) & Fireman (in the collection of the National Museum in Freetown).

    If you ever wish to get rid of them, we would love to acquire them for www.sierraleonerailwaymuseum.com

    Thanks for sharing

    Hello Mark, we're a charity with not a huge amount of cash, but if we can be in touch with each other via ajcoullsATyahoo.co.uk we could begin negotiations if you're interested. Many thanks and best wishes, Anthony (Secretary, Friends of the Sierra Leone National Railway Museum)
