Bronze-Coated Gilding Metal R.W.F. O.S.D. Badge
Hi Griff
Yes, I think you’re right about at least the third OSD badge being a bronze-coated gilding metal one. It’s certainly markedly heavier than the others, though with those long pointed blades I’m hoping it might be an early badge? Mind, still a bit concerned it might be a modern fake - we will see!?
Best regards
Martin
