A nice wartime British made Belgium Free Army forces ramping lion beret badge

This is a neat example of a good British made Belgium Free Army forces ramping lion beret badge. In 1940, Belgian pre-war émigrés and former soldiers who had escaped occupied Belgium were formed into units within the British military which later fought in the European and Mediterranean Theatres. These included an infantry formation, which later became the Brigade Piron, as well as Commando and paratroop units. Belgians also served in the Royal Air Force and Royal Navy, serving in Belgian-only units as well as in majority-British units. Significant numbers of soldiers from the Belgian Congo fought on the Allied side against the Italians in East Africa. After the liberation of Belgium in September 1944, the Free Belgian forces formed the foundations of the new Belgian army. This badge is in a nice issued condition and comes with it's original cutter pin and has most of it's orginal gilding still present.
