Badge "Excellent In The Customs Service".
#2
Interesting to see the correct use of the cauduceus (the two crossed symbols at the bottom) as a representation of commerce. It is often incorrectly used in the medical sphere when they should use the "rod of Asclepius" which has a single snake and no wings. Apparently the confusion started in 1902 when a US Army medical unit had a badge designed by an officer who did not know what he was doing. Obviously the designer of the customs badge did!
