Following the previous posts have come up with a few more questions.
Again only from what I’ve seen would it be correct to say that in the construction of the new metal badges ‘all’ white metal is a bright silver colour and ‘all’ brass is a bright gold colour?
Do any of the current badges come in the old fashioned nickel & gilding metal finish?
Is either type the being faked – ‘restrike’?
With Alan’s information about solders ‘private purchase’ from outside the MOD and/or Regimental shops it reminds me of a thread I read on the forum the other week about do we class badges being sold by the regiments as restrikes or original?
On this I am only talking about ‘current’ issue badges and not historical badges.
