Hi Guys,
Following Julians post #2 I have amended the definition to be:
A metallic item of dress designed for use in the head gear of various organisational units of the British Army composed of anodised aluminium.
This may help cover the material/manufacturing process to an extent but we still need a time line of manufacture and the generic purpose of a cap badge. i.e when were staybrites made, are they still being made and what are cap badges for?
If we can answer these questions we will be on our way to completing a definition.
I will now take one step back and ask if these items should be known as 'Staybrite' badges or 'Anodised Aluminium' badges.
