Hi all, As a ""Tank" regiment, the ALI were supposed to have white metal badges, but after the dies were altered adding the TANK tablet, the badges had been struck/cast in brass. The solution was to plate the badges.
My ALI Tank badge, which was handed to me from a vet of the unit, is the same as the one Bill has shown us. It is rhodium plated (which has a blueish tint), and as shown, the back of the badge is not thickly plated. The lugs are plated, and one appears to be "fused". I agree with David, Darrell's badge is good.
