<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 46361, member: 44"]Of course I Googled "No Cross No Crown." How did you think I found an exact identical badge including the wreath that was called Salvation Army? First of all I came up with a cabinet card showing a Salvation Army worker wearing a shirt reading "No Cross No Crown" then there was a link to the exact same identical badge, medal, as the OP's that was IDed as Salvation Army. Of course there isn't any assurance that it was Salvation Army, but seeing the motto on 2 supposedly Salvation Army related items and knowing present day Salvation Army badges have an "S" wrapped around a cross in the same fashion, I thought reporting the findings was necessary.
