WW2 British - V Force Cap Badge

Here is a very rare WW2 V-Force cap badge. 
 
The V Force was a guerilla organisation that was set up in 1942 to deal with a likely invasion of India by the Japanese.  In 1942 the Japanese had driven the British Army out of Burma and the establishment of V Force was meant to operate as a sabotage and intelligence unit.  It’s area commanders and officers were rarely regular army officers, they were more likely to be made up of men who had expert knowledge of the language and people of the area. Quite often they were civil servants and police officers, many were tea plantation workers.
 
Badge with both lugs (not slider as so often seen on fakes) undamaged and original, still retaining some of its subdued paint covering over brass, and in truly excellent condition.
