Artillery Volunteers silver?
I Picked up this yesterday, thinking it was wm with an a fixed wheel, I liked the badge but not the 3 lugs rather than 2, after trying to give it a light clean to get the dirt off it still looked a bit grey but also seemed to glitter a bit in places so this afternoon I gave it a brush with silver dip on the front and immediately revealed a nice bright silver badge, my question is this a die stamped silver officers badge of the period or a later and more modern fake, the bright patches on the rear are where my fingers supported the badge and the silver dip got on the back.
