Thousands of miners took part in a massive strike that lasted for months, affecting not just their livelihoods but also the country's energy supply. This badge is a tangible reminder of this pivotal period in British mining history.

The NUM badge was worn by many men during this time and serves as a testament to their bravery and dedication. The condition of this badge is extremely rare and can be seen in photos on our website, showcasing its intricate details and original wear.

This is a truly one-of-a-kind item, making it an incredible addition to any collection or for those who want a piece of history. Each day, the legacy of these hardworking miners lives on through this badge, serving as a powerful reminder of their sacrifices.
