On my other ta badges the seeding is nice and even. On the Dorsets there are smooth areas which to me indicates it was modified after original manufacture.

Dean/Kevin,

If so it looks like a bronzed/blackened Bi metal badge?

6th KOSB Scout Section compass

I thought the KOSB/WW1 collectors would like to see this.
The compass and case are both marked 1918.
Nice to be able to see which particular bn it served with.
