Mike mentions anodised badges with metal sliders. I have a few of these. One of them is a REME badge with a metal slider attached. The slider is a JR GAUNT B"HAM. I initially thought it was a repair, but on a closer look it doesn't look to have been broken and the metal slider nicely bent and riveted. How common was this practice. I'm sure we have spoken about this before?

Thanks BC,
I had a rough Engineers example some time back and I think they were early items - again, this is something else to be investigated and timelined.
These genuine staybrite items with non staybrite sliders are not to be confused with the fake tin badges with non staybrite sliders that are about on eBay and some dealers sites.

Chris
