Was there a conclusion to this. I have resurrected this old thread as I have an anodised collar that would go perfectly with the cap badge that Jerry shows.
But from Mike's post it is implausible that an anodised badge with mural crown would exist if the design changed in 1939.
I also don't rate the Smith & Wright makers mark on Jerry's Badge.
So my conclusion would be, anodised copies of a pre-1939 metal badge and collar. All done to deceive.
