Well, I had to clean it up as the verdigris was just too much and actually starting to eat into the wheel above the 11 o'clock spoke; that's resolved.

I notice that at some point in time, someone...

Well, I finally elected to go with the pattern that appears on known earlier badges. Slider measures 40.9 mm

I'm happy with it for what it's meant to represent.

Thanks again!

I've looked at the website for old photos and there isn't much circa WW1.

The issue of cleaning items comes up a lot in collecting circles and always seems to have two main trains of thought:

Hi Alan,

Well, that's what I took out from the discussion thus far, circa 1948 or later but I was curious to see it was, what appears to be, a bronze badge apparently with loops for attachment. I...
