I have a number of badges that I believe were made in HK. I've discussed this at length with Bess. The sliders look to me as if they've been stamped from a sheet aluminium rather than cut from a length of aluminium. This gives the effect of a burr of metal on the underside of the slider.
Colin mentions the QGS 2 piece badge,this was 100% made in HK. It was worn by senior NCOs who had it produced.I've had this confirmed by the last QM Gurkha Brigade whose previous post was as QM QGS. My old 2ic,who served for 34 years.
