A badge for someone organising pilgrim tours?

[David]

Hi all. Saw this on eBay - 1950's so over sixty years old - do you organise Pilgrim Tours??

Lovely, isn't it!

It is rather special... I just had a look at the costs though and with our low dollar here in Australia, I decided to leave it for someone else to add to their collection.

The post has a 'buy now' option....I would love it, but, my funds are destined to be used elsewhere just now.

I think I saw one of the badges. If I remember well the volunteers assisting physically less abled people on the nighttrain to Lourdes were wearing such a badge. This was in the early eighties.

Means that it might be for Lourdes or Fatima?

Hi - I just had a thought and put 'pilgrim badge' into Ebay. There are three more of these ... and much cheaper too!!! Whoda thunk it! - Yes, Lourdes, I see that one comes with a Lourdes handbook.

See here (the cheapest one is damaged)

On seeing the thread title, I wondered if someone was looking for design ideas. I would have thought a badge incorporating a halo and a target symbol would be accurate.
