The LI and Yorkshires were in an all silver shiny finish.
The Royal Regiment of Scotland is a gilt lion on a silver (shiny) cross. This is a two colour badge.
The Yorkshire Regt is gilt with a silver rose or Bronze with a silver rose depending on the order of dress.
The Welsh are still wearing the old RRW a/a badges for the moment.
None of them have gone back to the old brass and nickel construction.

Alan,
The boys walking around the streets of Cardiff are wearing the old RRW with the hackle.
I'm not sure wether they have had a badge made with a hackle retainer as was the old RWF or not.
As Bantam and I are planing a trip to the regimental museum on Tues next I will endevour to check this out.
Hwyl,
Kevin
