A lovely badge Peter,
Great images too showing the crispness of the strike and great condition.
I was bidding against you on this badge, hoping to land it in order to make a hands on comparison to my version.
I'm very pleased that it deservedly went to another forum member, one who also appreciates its appeal.
It is very similar to my badge apart from the placement of the lugs and the dimensions, which makes it slightly larger than mine which measures 45mm H and 30mm W, which are the same dimensions as my KK673.
I assume that these badges were worn on both the Field Service cap and the Brodrick, with the larger pattern KK674 being used as the one in Alan O's album with the Foreign Service Helmet. / (possibly Forage Cap)?
I have yet to get to grips with the sealed pattern info very kindly shared with me by a forum friend. In time it would be of interest if possible to know how many versions (sizes) of KK674/5 were actually authorised.
If Alan O or any other members who have this pattern badge pick up this thread maybe they will be kind enough post the dimensions of their examples.
Nice to see yours PJ, very well done.
Ry
