Brass version of IS badge??
Hi Chaps
Even after over a century these Imperial Service badges are still quite common, I have a few examples in my collection.
However, when glancing through "Medal Yearbook" I was surprised to see that it states they were produced in "Cupro-nickel or brass".
I've seen many examples but only in white metal, never seen a brass example. Has anyone got/seen a brass version?
I think the book may have got it wrong but if they were awarded in both metals, who were the brass badges awarded to?
I should mention that I'm looking at the 2016 edition of the book (item 234A), I'm not sure to what extent the same info appears in earlier editions as I've given my old copies away.
