Description: | Metal cap badge showing a crown in the style of the King's Crown surrounded by laurel leaves. The King's Crown is the stylised image of a crown used on coins, banknotes, medals, badges etc while a king is ruling. The badge was attached to the sleeve of a Warrant Officer to denote rank. Typically, the laurel leaves were only present in badges belonging to Quartermaster Sergeants or in other select circumstances, so it is unclear why Fred Nostdal would own this badge. However, the wreath was added to all Warrant Officer II's badges between 1938 and 1947. As we know Fred Nostdal served during this time, perhaps this explains it.
