Default Grove Manufacturing Anodised badges
I had a nice suprise this week when given for free, only my second "Grove MFG" badge, an unusual item, a post 1954 pattern Wiltshire Regiment Gold Anodised Aluminium badge which has a brass riveted slider. The back has a strange finish, it is very smooth similar to the rear of a "Nut Chocolate Bar" like surface.

The other Grove badge I have is a Manchester Regt pre 1958 pattern Silver Anodised badge with a White metal slider which has a similar riveted style fitting to the above badge.

I'm sure they are both genuine, Grove are probably the scarcer of Andoised makers.
