If you are correct why are there equal numbers of WM ones?
I would like to see the photographic evidence you have of this style of badge in use.

I don't mind at all if you don't believe me Simon, but I know what I saw, and I was not ignorant of what I was examining. It was of course pre-internet days and unlike now I didn't have a mobile phone with which to take a quick pic. The white metal are of course spurious and I have already said that there are a lot of reproductions with sliders. I enclose a cap and arm badge side-by-side. What is often not appreciated is that the SofM increased in size substantially during WW1, with schools at Each 'Command' within the UK (Southern, Eastern, etc.), as well as those in the Armies and Corps in France, the Base Depot at Etaples, and two in India.
