The black brass looks as if it's been powder coated Neil. I have a number of badges from this period and there black factory anodised or black painted anodised. I have a black painted metal one I was given by an ex Officer also. Never seen black powder coated ones,saying that a serving soldier would have got away with wearing it in the field or in NI.

Thanks for that Mike Never thought about the black coating just assumed NI have seen painted AA and Have a Black AA Para
