Nice badge.
How does the reverse of the badge look. It is a pinback, screwback or just a jeton.
best regards
Andreas

Very nice! Does anyone know the period of this? There are certainly a grand selection of Railway badges with "new" ones popping up all the time.

My guess would be 50s era.

Sometimes the screwplate gives a hint about the time period.

I would volunteer post-WWII 1940s period, in the late 1940s-early 1950s almost everything switched to pinback.. Just IMHO.
