Another excellent piece. I notice the "ET" spelling, the different construction, and different QVC this time. How many variations on this theme were there ? Regards Jeff

Hi Jeff, I guess as many versions as there are makers. Will post another version tomorrow.
Ron.

This officers example by Anderson, cast silver plated star gilt overlay somewhat rubbed with a pinched style of crown. Separate silver numerals to the center.

Ron as always great badges. The lacquer staining; do you think that was added by a collector fairly recently (post WWII) or back in time, or in-service? Seen a few badges that have been lacquered.
