A couple of bits from my damaged/junk box .
The early large badges had the lion head attached by two tangs/wires(?) and on later large badges the lion head (which is thicker) was attached via two holes (see photo 1). These all appear to be white metal.
A lot of the small/miniature badges have a thin white metal (aluminium ?) lion head attached by five small 'tangs'.
The lion heads on Gold Award badges have similar fittings but do appear to have been made of gold.
