Cast KOMR badge
I have come across this version of Kings Own Malta Regiment officers collar-sized badge in the past and was lucky to obtain one during the good old days.
It is cast and I believe it is a wartime make when there was a shortage of practically everything on the Island! It is also indicative of the wartime privations that badge was not oxidised.
It is to be noted that there are two tiny slots E&W in the surrounding wreath at the sites where fixing loops/blade would normally be attached.
I would welcome any comments and also appreciate if any member has similar in their collection and could post a relevant pic
