A nice wartime British made Dutch Free Forces arm i.e formation lion

This is a neat example of a nice wartime British made Dutch Free Forces arm i.e formation lion. The lion was worn by all members of the Netherlands Army (Allied forces) what was later renamed as the Royal Netherlands Brigade. The Brigade was part of 21st Army Group and took part in the liberation of Western Europe and the Netherlands. The badge worn by all Netherlands troops on the left upper arm of their Battle Dress and when the Netherlands Army was re-formed the 'NEDERLAND' on the badge was replaced by 'JE MAINTIENDRAI', the motto of the House of Orange. This example is made of green felt and has a black cheese cloth like backing and is in a removed from unoform condition.
