From a post I made in another thread :

"British Legion (BL) Life Membership Badges evolved from its first appearance entirely silver plated, then in silver plated and blue enamel, and then to its final version in brass and enamel".

BL Silver Badge (Life Member ?)

The Birmingham Medal Co. made two sizes of BL badges , the 'large' (26mm) and the miniature (7mm-9mm) , the little ones came with various fittings/styles (brooch/brooch bar/pin fitting/pendant or 'dangler').

The Birmingham Medal Company (under various names/makers marks) produced BL badges from 1928-1945. Gaunt had the contracts before and after these dates.
