Neat example of a scarce Norwegian Free Forces British made Haakon 7 silver hallmarked capbadge

This is a neat example of a scarce and difficult silver cap badge worn aswell by the member of the Norwegian Linge Company. H7 was the monogram of the Norwegian head of state, King Haakon VII (7th), who reigned from 1905 to 1957. When Germany invaded Norway in 1940 as a part of World War II, the royal family fled the country, and Haakon VII later spearheaded the Norwegian resistance in exile in the United Kingdom. H7 became one of several symbols used by the Norwegian populace to mark solidarity and loyalty to the King. The cap badge is in a prefect and never been cleaned condition. A scarce and difficult badge to find.
