Is the enameling on the cap badge design actually enamel or could it be badly applied translucent paint or ink drawn on using felt tip type pens that can be bought nowadays, presumably for decorating glass. I've seen images of such decorated cap badges including anod. al. ones purporting to be officer's enamelled badges.
