I'm afraid unless someone has the provenance on one of these Initial type badges the chances of getting a positive Identification are slim.It could be a hospital or equally something completely different? I have a number of these potential Nursing or Medical badges but am not hopeful that I'll ever pin down an ID on any of them unless they get a much wider audience.finding isn't it!
It is so finding trying to identify these type of badges, which are often sold as nurses or hospital badges!
Don't I know it! Some are but many or most aren't,hence the need for an ongoing database of known nurses and hospital Badges,medals and awards. We almost need a similar database of identified Not Nursing Badges( of which i have had many!)
Perhaps we should be asking sellers for a provenance as to why they describe a badge as nursing and a money back guarantee if it later is proven not to be as described?
I agree wholeheartedly. We could maybe have a gallery related to dubious badges on the website. I do often as if it appears dubious how they know it is a hospital badge.
Someone not too long ago asked about a badge with the initials QAHH, I think this is an early version of the Queen Alexandria Hospital Home in Worthing, Sussex for disabled ex-service personnel, which is a charity.
