A WWII economy plastic 'bakelite' issue kings crown cap badge, most often found with blades, but this is the much scarcer variety with a unique plastic slider fitting to the reverse,that bears makers details for 'JR&L Ltd B'Ham' (Jarrett, Rainsford & Laughton Ltd Birmingham). Very good clean condition, complete with original slider fitting, no warping, an excellent example with good lustre.
