The badge in your photograph appears to be metal?

Hello Jerry,
Absolutely fantastic images, a fellow would really stand out wearing a badge like those, is that the end of a chain and fob on the sergeants breast pocket flap, just above the button? Regards Frank Quote:

Yes to the watch fob and also he has perhaps his SA pair of ribbons up. |
Hello Jerry,
Looking at photographs on here and elsewhere, as well as examples of the actual badges themselves, I must assume that they were polished to quite a degree, by their recipients, they certainly are very attractive badges and must have got qualified Scouts noticed. Regards again, Frank |
Thanks for the pictures of the "S" in wreath badges, never seen them before.
I am interested only in trade and skill badges that were worn by Australian forces, which includes most if not all of the WW1 badges including the fleurdelis designs. I doubt if Australians ever wore the S pattern. |

In case it has not been said previously, the official gilding metal badges [all 4 designs] were issued with a black [sic] felt outlining backing ....... a badge with authentic lining would be a nice find.
Paying a lot of money for an unoffical worsted badge, however pretty and well-preserved, is not for me. I have several such [none as handsome], and they are in my "curios" category. |

How many collectors of Scout badges have their own Queen's Scout Badge?
I sweated blood to gain it, finally managed in 1954. I have the cloth and metal/ enamel versions safely framed. Just boasting. |
1954? If you'd got a wiggle on it could've been a King's Scout Badge.
