G'day Garry & Mick
Ive just got mine out of the cupboard where my 16 plates live, its a metal plate but not sure what type, the plate is struck as a single item, the back ground is a "gold" rayed plate with a rolled rim at the bottom, the Motto is raised and looks to be added to the plate but its not, its all one piece and is silver coloured, the 2 part scroll with the 17th / 21st LANCERS title is also silver coloured and is struck as part of the original plate.
The plate is 225mm wide at the base and is 123mm high and is slightly convex. If I could find a magnet Id tell you if its magnetic, but I cant at the moment so I cant say, but its pretty light so I doubt that it would be steel. The plate has 2 screw posts on the back as the original plates do but it did not come with the nuts or washers. It is a really well made plate.
Mick I will send you some photos and you can post them.
More to follow.
Regards
Phil.
