    Found these pins today. Thought some here would like them due to the rifles. The East Surrey Regiment was an active infantry regiment in the British Army from 1880 to 1959. I assume they are from WW2 era. Rifles are detailed and made as a separate piece from the insignia. Not sure what they were for, souvenir, uniform, etc. Having no luck finding them in Google images.

    Emailed pics to the Surrey Infantry Museum. The volunteer that emailed back believes they are Regimental Association badges worn by former East Surrey Regiment soldiers in civilian clothes. I was hoping they were worn on uniforms but still cool with the rifles.
