Possibly, I bought this from Cairncross in Filey c. 2003. I know that the star was officially introduced in 2000.
I also have somewhere (but will need to find it) an auction catalogue from either Bosleys or Marlows where a bi-metal IG star was included in the lot with the owner claiming in the lot notes that it was a Sgts/ Musicians badge dating from c. 1995. This is the only place where I have seem reference to any possible bi-metal star in use prior to 2000 and I remain unconvinced that it is true.
