Hi Alan
Why privately bought? Were the moving wheel badges not issued?
Thanks, cheers,
Alex

No they were a private purchase from shops and canteens.

Officer's badge had a mounted wheel that when fiddled with would rotate (and fall off), but of course they were in Bronze and Gilt.

It was officially allowed to be worn, but not an issued item.

And broken.
