Thanks Gents for your input on this thread.
Bess, thanks for the pics of the gold anodised collar badges, I have always wondered why Aberdeen U.O.T.C had a silver a/a cap badge with gold anodised collars? Maybe there are silver anodised collars out there.
My badges with the "metal" lugs are the same distance apart as the normal cap badge with anodised lugs. William's thoughts on the lugs not being strong enough on a/a badges may hold some credence.
The friction pegs on my a/a badge does remind me slightly on how Grove M.F.G fitted their sliders on badges. I checked a Northamptonshire Regt (Grove) badge and there are certain similarities on the structure although one is fitted with a slider and the other is not.
Many Thanks
Colin
