Thanks guys
Glad to see that what I found was of interest and also got people exploring some humour. Heaven knows we need that these days....
I sometimes think that what I've found might not be that interesting, although it may be new to me, so it's good to see some thoughts on this.
I think that I've posted before on the OWS 1915 & 1916 badges so anyone with renewed interest might like to trawl back and find them.
I do have a nicely gilded 1915 brass badge (4-digit, no letter?) that has been enamel-filled in the "incuse" parts. Also a 1916 badge that has had the same treatment but looks to be an "after market" effort, although who can say.
The 1916 "triangles" certainly got the creative juices flowing and you will find previous posts by me showing at least 4-5 smaller versions in brass and also small silver "dangler" style efforts that would appear to be the work of a professional jeweller.
If anyone can't locate these and would like me to dig them out, I'll be happy to do so!
Cheers
