Identifying emblems attached to unusual saddlebag lad lost (6)
I believe the answer is:
badges
'identifying emblems attached' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'unusual saddlebag lad lost' is the wordplay.
'unusual' is an anagram indicator.
'lost' is a deletion indicator.
'saddlebag' with 'lad' taken away is 'sdebag'.
'sdebag' anagrammed gives 'BADGES'.
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for badges that I've seen before include "Emblems of membership etc." , "Emblems to signify rank or membership" , "Emblems, labels" , "Things worn to show membership or rank" , "They are worn to show membership of an organisation" .)
