Hi Tony thanks for you info but the second badge is definitely bronze did the O/R wear a bronze badge at any time, and did the officer ever wear a badge with the crown separately a two piece badge in other words. Scots grey

Hi SG
Agree with the others , both are GM OR's, Officers wore as you say the two part badges, bronzed and Gilt/WM Globe finish as far as I'm aware.

Yep not bronze, the bronze one is a heck of a lot thicker and Officers badges are two parts.....
