Very nice, proves that there is still many a gem out there.
Interesting lugs on the SWB

JerryBB 24-09-17 12:32 PM

A very good pickup, wow.

magpie 24-09-17 12:56 PM

Yes matti, it must have been made the same time as the ROAC badge and buttons to have the same lugs so would this have been badge no 2 or made with it for the trials if the ROAC is supposed to be the first.

Good chance Andy,brilliant find.

What a great find. The SWB in all gold is the same trial badge judging by the lugs, as the RAOC.

What a fantastic find Andy! :eek::eek:

Do you think the same company made the badges as well as the Buttons, those buttons with the title are always being looked for. :D

Marc :)

magpie 24-09-17 03:30 PM

I take it they are trial buttons as well.

magpie 24-09-17 04:22 PM

I don't know marc, but I suppose they could have, I'm hoping chris may have an idea on this sleeper lot.

Andy,
good spawny bit of work there mate . . congratulations!

To reiterate comments by good members above . . . they are still out there to find.

The SWB may well break a few moulds and theories. There were a few problems with early anodised buttons. One would suspect that they are the earliest versions.
