A attractive 9th Armoured Division/1st Motor Machine Gun Brigade formation badge

This is a neat example of a - un-issued - 9th Armoured Division/1st Motor Machine Gun Brigade formation badge. The badge was originally that of 1st Motor Machine Gun Brigade, formed in the UK on 30 May 1940 in Eastern Command. The badge was transferred to 9th Armoured Division on its formation on 1 December 1940 under command of Major General M B Burrows, previously commander 1st Motor Machine Gun Brigade. The division did not see action and was disbanded in the UK on 31 July 1944. However, the units in its 28th Armoured Brigade were transferred to armoured formations in France to make up losses. This example is in a perfect un-issued condition.
