What is the going rate for a sterling WW2 SDR officer's cap badge these days (and how hard are they to find)?
The reason I ask - I just picked up a beautiful WW2 era officer's SDG balmoral cap (with correct blue toorie and McDonell of Glengarry tartan swatch). The only thing missing (of course) is the badge.
I do have a nice white metal SDG Highlanders badge that will suffice for now. Unfortunately, I am guessing that the price of a sterling officer's badge is way out of my budget (I am not really a hard-core badge collector), so the w/m badge will probably have to do.
Would it have been at all common for an officer to wear a regular white metal badge, or was it 100% that officers would wear sterling badges?
