Hi Tony, sorry for delay. I found a pair of w/m collars the same as yours, and also a brooched one. Both are definitly w/m and not plated. The pair are odd in that they were lugged and have had them replaced by the single flat lug with slot. Someone on the forum did date the change to the single lug so that should give a start date for this type. Yours is still a mystery. As it is lugged maybe a precurssor wrongly struck in brass? Who knows, I wish I did. I will photo the badges in a couple of days if you want. My pics never take well in artificial light and I'm at work for the next couple of days. Best wishes and I hope this helps Mike
