Firstly is the badge brass or white-metal? I find it hard to tell from the photos that are uploaded. Is the badge in your possession, is there any sign of it ever being blackened?

Hi John,
Thank you for your response. Yes the badge is in my possession. I do not see any signs of it haven been blackened. As to the colour I would say it is golden just a bit more on the yellow side than the golden wedding band on my finger which I guess would make it brass (?). In any case it is a nice looking badge with fine details and shows evidence of having been polished multiple times. Any futher thoughts on this badge would be most appreciatiated. Also what are your thoughts please on the Connaught badge? Thank you.
Cheers, Tom
