Hi Alan,
Here's mine, front and rear. The overlays are clumsy and very proud and seem to have been added as an adaption. I suppose it could be the ex-property of an officer trying to get a...

Interesting. I saw you'd noted silver but thought it only applied to the pennons and elephant.
Here's my bi-metal one although you can't see the sweathole and wires. They do look similar.

I'm not convinced by this badge Wilf, I have one myself (although mine has a fixing shank, yours looks like it had one at one time) and have never been happy with it either, despite the slotted...

Another small request for info from Peter. I have a pair of collars which instead of having sweatholes have very shallow rivets. Would these be the silver & gilt versions?

I'm not so sure. Sweathole or not those badges with all g/m pennons tend to have indentations to the rear of the lances rather than be completely smooth. This (smooth) feature is usually found on...
