Auxiliary Police "Voluntary Helper" Badges/Awards

[Taz]

This progressed to a printed version of the armband similar to the one in my "Helfer" post, and then on to the most common, embroidered example (exactly like the one featured in that post).

Printed and embroidered versions of the armband, one other point to note with regards to the badge is that there were no strict rules and regulations about wearing it apart from that it should be worn on the lapel.
