Saw a job lot of BL badges but thought they were 'basic' ones I already had but then gave them a second/closer look. There was a nice minature screw pin one plus a very badly damaged "For Merit" badge , as the second is pretty rare I bought the lot.
When they arrived I was reasonably happy , there were also a couple of 'T.A' ones and six of the smaller basic BL ones which were headed for the spares/swaps box.
For some reason I decided to check makers marks/numbers and got a surprise , one of them had a "JRG&S" makers mark .......and a hallmark!
Can't make out details of hallmark but it is definitely a gold member award badge (more about award in another post).
Am very happy with my little job lot and will definitely double check all listings/badges in future.
