Hi Peter,
I don't know the reasons for tha badge being plated but if done on a Regimental scale, I would surmise that it would be treated similarly to the A/A badges, so not polished !!
If done by the individual or by some one else ( ie, home plated ), I can see the plating ( as in mine ), not being so robust, this means someone being over zealous with the polish will soon remove the plating.
This is just my own thoughts remember !!!
Dave.
PS, Having had another look at yours and my eyes aint what they used to be but it looks like only the front was plated, if so, this would indicate private or personal plating ??
