I've got a 'thicker version' F&G with round maker mark and a 'thinner version' without any marking, good to get confirmation it is a F&G badge as well. Pics to follow asap.

Rgds, Thomas.
Hiya Thomas,

I do believe that I also have an unmarked badge in my collection as well, I shall have to have a real good look now to find it.

I agree with you and Andy about the Plastic badges, but for some unknown reason I mentioned "Bakelite" as a cap badge ?? when we all know it was used to make other items, like telephones etc. Sorry for my misleading comments to all of you's.
