Hi Peter, I quite like it, it has ME lugs but as with all cast badges the question always is, who cast it? As far as I know the W&H badges only came in one size, different finishes. These were copied in the ME, if you compare the lugs on these you will see they look like your badge. The Gaunt made badges were when they came back here, I think, and as they were quickly disbanded in Normandy there are not many of them, though they again come in different finishes and there does appear to be some officers' cap badges of the same size as the 3rd CLY. This would make sense as they made them as well, all they had to do was change the central device. A good indication is the single dot at the base, earlier types had four dots in a cross shape. Mike
