Federal Marshal Pin [Series III-V]

Let's start with something that should be familiar to fans of Series III, IV and V - Lister's Federal Marshall pin, as initially seen on his screen-left jacket lapel.

This is my most recent find, and in many respects, the impetus for starting a new blog. The pin itself, which features a roll-over safety clasp fastening, was found in a Country & Western/line dancing auction listing of all places, and appears to be identical to the screen-used badge which, in continuity, is transposed from Lister's leather jacket at the end of Meltdown, to his screen-right leather coat lapel - right up until its final appearance in, Quarantine.

Indeed, from Series V-onwards, the space on the jacket has been filled by a 4405th ACFT GEN SQD patch; a pair of which later carry over to Lister's Series VI leather waistcoat, and cap. But more on that, later.

Measures approximately 65mm x 55mm.
