I think there was a photograph of an (?) East Surrey Regt plastic badge on the Forum a few years ago. It that part of it painted to emulate a BM badge ? I assume a private initiative ?? Or maybe an officer's ?? Did officers wear these things - I know it was generally unpopular.

A couple of references have been made to "the wrong colour" which raises the question , with a bi metal badge, what colour would a plastic badge have to be to be "right"

I mean wrong as in a colour not prescribed, but how do you judge wrong when it comes to replicating the colours of bi-metals when the choice of colours in general is so inappropriate?
Shiny golds & silvers become white for Air Ministry Constabulary, dark brown for RA, dark blue for RM.
Can't help but suspect that the choice of black for KRRC may have been fortunate coincidence.
