Hello Mick
Not sure if I agree with green jas on his value of the plastic QMI badge.
Even though it wasn't an official badge the providence behind the small group of badges is significant.
Another example is a white metal Melbourne Uni Regiment badge that was made and issued to a small number of soldiers in the regiment when they had a small number of armoured vehicles allocated to them for a short time.
If we apply his logic to all non official badges then most band badges, unofficial unit patches etc & my whitemetal Melb Uni Reg badge are of little value and we know that is not the case.
I would be very happy to have a plastic QMI in my collection.
Dennis
