Thanks Griff and Toby for quick replies,
I am one of those who doesn't clean my badges sorry Griff. I like the aged look I am afraid and only remove verdigris. My dear old Dad polished them as if he was still going on parade. Most of my "commons" not in albums have been polished.
Toby think you are spot on with theatre made mess waiters badge. the Tigers spent long years in India. I have the bandsmans pouch badge in my Leicesters album and yes these are lugged and much bigger. The short slider may suit headgear of mess waiter too as a thought.
The economy versions of regular and TF Leicesters from my album are all one piece badges with the scrolls integral to the badge.
Thanks for your guidance, so much to learn, cheers Dean.
