What year (roughly) did the badge manufacturers stop using brazing holes to attach central sheilds to BM badges? I know that almost all WW1 badges should have them but later issues?
Would they have stopped using them by say 1930 -1935?

Hi Howard,
Know the thread you're thinking of, I believe the suggested date was 1927 (but that must be rough as a badgers arse). God knows when it first became possible to braze without holes but it's a guess as good as any, and again it comes down to different manufacturers... I've a RIF with braze holes and a Dowler slider, which (the maker) apparently makes it WW2 or after so they were still using them then.
Cheers,
Luke
