Hi Guys,
I have recieved this image from a member where the term 'Anodised Alunimium' is used.
I suspect other sealed patterns show the same terminology.
As such, for my project I will from now on used the term 'Anodised Aluminium' when referring to badges of this genre.
I have also recieved the following information:
Also the following information was gleaned at Kew from WO32/21444. At 309th Meeting of Army Dress Committee on 22/03/72, following a 6 month trial by 15/19 Hussars, approval was given to introduce, on a maintenance basis, clutch fittings instead of twin shanks and cotter pins on all shoulder titles. Again note the terminology 'shank and cotter pins' not lugs!
Looks like 'lugs' are out and 'shanks' are in.
Regards
Chris
