It's been years since I looked at my Green Howards a/a badge, but believe it's struck so that the back is flat & plain too. However it's been in a frame for over 20yrs, with a load of other British Infantry badges so can't tell you who the maker is.

Hi,
Do you remember if your aa badge is heavy? My one weighs quite a bit. Cheers Phil

Honestly can't remember, apart from the fact that it's a similar striking to yours, which at the time, I thought unusual. You may find the Regimental PRI shop may have had badges produced for over-the-counter sales, which were more than likely worn by the lads of the Green Howards.
I wore a QC bim REME badge for years in my beret, when serving with the T.A. and that was purchased from the PRI shop, when I did a course at the Depot. No one said that I shouldn't wear it and it did encourage others to buy and wear them. This brings into question - are metal PRI badges made by Gaunts, Birmingham worn in service "repro" or otherwise, as they were often bought because they were harder wearing and less likely to break or deform?? |
