Seven examples of brass ORs glengarry badges worn by both 42nd & 73rd CEF Battalions. I include them on this thread as they are often described as BW economy issue. All badges were sourced by myself from Canada. So far I have identified four possibly five different dies.
Top row L to R. Die A Browing finish, 20 gauge 17.62gm. ET spelling.
Die B Browning finish, 16 gauge 25.50gm. ET spelling.
Although very similar there are clear differences between the Sphinx styles.
Middle row L to R. Die C Brass, 20 gauge 17.50gm. ET spelling.
Die C Brass, 20 gauge 17.45gm. ET spelling.
Die C Brass, 18 gauge 16.30gm. ET spelling cut point of star.
Die C is easily distinguished by the top left hand scroll which is set 5 degrees from the horisontal.
Bottom row L to R. Die D Brass 18 gauge 16.36gm. IT spelling.
Die ? Brass 16 gauge 20.14gm. ET spelling.
This last badge is identical to die C examples but has an extra 2mm in height.This badge has been silver plated and polished off, the reverse remains silvered. Also it is the only badge to have typically Canadian flat style lugs.
