G'day Gents, as a follow-up, I would like to show first the slip-on from my first question about Lt-Col. Andrew Thompson Maclean.
Second, I would like your comments on the two other slip-ons gotten at he the same time as the first one. What are they...for an Army Chaplain because of the pips purplish colour....???
Thirdly,the badges shown are, left,a 1stWW rising sun badge without any maker marks on the back.
The one on the right is a mystery. It is made of something resembling "plastic" with a slider made up of a piece of flimsy (very) metal strip painted brown.....it looks and feel very "home-made"....My question is. Is it a badge made to replace a lost one and made from an original one (a sand cast one).???
