Default West Riding
I recieved a small lot of anodised badges today... 3 of them were West Riding.
This particular badge has a scroll that is a white finish while the other 2 have a gold coloured scroll. The first is Dowler marked but the others are missing their sliders... am just wondering if this is the norm....

looks to me as if it hasnt been anodised,the aluminium appears as a silvery grey colour.
Keep it,i have a few that are similar but not a Duke of Wellingtons

As Mike says, it looks like an unfinished badge that has neither been anodised nor colour dyed.

Give it a clean up with some liquid soap and an old, soft toothbrush and you may agree that it is all bare aluminium.

Regards

Chris
