Oddly the REME badge has one blade and one clutch pin!
The RHG/D, Grenadier Guards and RAChD are made of metal.

I will add more detail to my album in the next few days.

Thanks Tim,

The non A/A RAChDDanbury Mint badge that you have confirms the same info from another member. This is good news for A/A collectors ensuring that Danbury Mint Chaplains items are not passed off as the real thing with their twin blade set-up.
