Found another one. This time a hat badge size 39th.
I think it’s probably bakelite.
Has anyone else seen anything like it before and or can shed some lite on them.
Cheers

Thanks Tony, but I know what the badge is representing but the genuine badges are die struck brass +/- enamel.
The question I’m asking is has anyone seen them in bakelite like the 2 examples I show.
