Apologies. It's boiling hot water, not warm water for the WM badge :) For the anodised badge, it's warm water. Neither works. Maybe I leave them alone?

Thanks!

The badge measures 42mm x 40mm. Would this be too big for a collar badge (I notice that some collar badges are pretty massive)?

Also, if this is a collar, will the matching one faces...

Hello.

I have this badge, no crown. Is this Victorian?

Any thoughts welcome. My own guess is, someone decided to chop off the crown...

Any thoughts on this?

I paid peanuts for it (12 pounds) so deep in my heart does not think that it is a genuine one ... :rolleyes:

Mysterious Badge

What is this badge? I looked everywhere but cannot find any reference (more like I don't know what the cipher stands for, sorry). I am 100% sure that it is a fake :( but a fake of what? Thanks.
