A few years back I spoke to Craig Fourie, co-author of LRDG RHODESIA and he told me that the cast badge in their book was owned by one of the veterans they interviewed. This was later confirmed to me by Jonathan Pittaway a couple of years back. See att. photo.
There is another blackened one in the book L’ODYSSEE DE LA COLONNE LECLERC and is from the collection of Didier Corbonnis. This one is also reputed to come from a veteran who served in Africa.
