Question- Marconi Operators Badge

[William Oakes]

Greetings.
Can anyone tell me about the attached image?
Specifically, age and time period of the item.
What does the number 26 signify?
Size? is it a lapel pin 1" diameter? Or an actual badge 3-4 inch diameter?
Any information would be sincerely appreciated.
It is for a project that i am working on!Many Thanks in advance.

It appears that the Marconi Company was acquired by the Swedish firm Ericsson in January 2006. I would venture that contacting them with a copy of the image might yield some positive results.
