Gruff,
Yes nothing wrong with the reinforced example they're spot on. I would assume made up on specific instructions. I have now seen another one in a very good framed Pembs Yeo collection in West Wales which I took apart to identify the badges for the owner.

There are white metal copies about and they're dangerous because they look good. They even have one on display below the troop standard in Fishguard museum. The tell tail is that they all have a thiner title scroll than the standard issue, it's also slightly longer and is attached with 4 tabs. I'll try and upload it from my phone. Very well made though.

I'm trying to get into Tenby museum today as I know they have some Pembs Yeo items. The stuff that was at Scolton manor is no longer on display and Haverfordwest Castle only had a couple of buttons in the county archive collection, which I had to correct the information on. Some good uniform items in Pembroke Castle though.

Hwyl fawr,
Kevin
