WW2 Colonial British Federated Malaya States Railway Police Cap Badge

Original cap badge for the Federated Malay States (FMS) Railway Police, featuring a tiger in mid-stride at the center, surrounded by the inscription “F.M.S. Railway Police” and backed by a large five-pointed star.

This striking design reflects the colonial-era police presence across British Malaya’s vital railway network. Worn by uniformed personnel from the interwar years into the early part of WW2, these badges are now scarce and highly collectible.
