Hi Guys,
I'm not taking the piss here but were the badges actually made of silver and stamped 'SILVER' or where they made of other metals and stamped with fake mark?
I will be looking him up on the forum in a mo but this would be a good head up.
I will also reinvestigate the silver 'New Metal' pieces too. At least two early pattern badges for the Scots Guards and Coldstream Guards were made of sterling silver but this was later changed (with corresponding change in pattern No.) to nickle.
Regards,
Chris
