Both parts of the posted badge look as if they have been cast and then fixed together by araldite. No shear marks or any other markings except what is on the slider.

The FIRMIN marked all metal collar badge is also fixed by two rivets and has a single pin and clutch fitting.

The manufacture etc., of my badge and that posted by 'gurkharifles' is the same.
