"crazy paving" is normal for these badges, no "hammer head" as they were die cast in silver and not die struck, so it is "solid backed"

Suggests that the "hammer head" (which strikes the back of the badge) is not in the best of nick. Have seen this before on many club, association and other badges.

Also interesting to see that it is "solid backed" and not like a cap badge which is usually "hollow backed".

A great item. Not my field but really nice to see!
