The Malta Marine Police Gold Badge awarded to A. F. Serge

Malta Marine Police Badge, 57mm x 32mm, gold, '1.11.1891 - 1.3.1921 A. F. Serge' engraved to reverse of crown, '18K' hallmarks to reverse, lacking a retaining pin to reverse, very fine

Spink XRF gun, surface level readings read as 82% gold - badge weighs 21.86g.

A. F. Serge was awarded this badge likely as a long-service award and it was potentially one of the last gold Marine Police Badges awarded before the police department at Malta was completely overhauled. After the British granted Malta self-government in July 1921, the police department became the responsibility of the new Maltese government and thus came great renewal to their practices and administration.
