Current 2019 British army badges

[norfolk regt man]

Hi all, two questions
What’s the correct name for the material that the current badges are made off, ie those badges after anodised.
And when did badge makers get told and start not putting there names on the sliders and bags of issue. Thanks Andrew

There are a variety of terms used on manufacturers packaging including:
Nickel low bake
DE GILT BURNISH
BSILVER LOW BAKE
BE GILT
BSILVER BURNISH
D.B.G.
BRIGHTSILVER

JSP 768 uses:
Burnished dead silver
Gilding metal bright silver plated
Nickel silver, silver plated finish
Dead gilt and burnished (with red enamel ...)
Gilding metal burnished surface condition, dead gilt treatment
Dead silver and dead gilt burnished



2012 is apparently the cut off date but maker named packaging dated post 2012 exist some still with maker named sliders.

Hi Tim, thanks for this, I have maker named badges and packets to The Royal Anglian dated 2013, but none later, so 2012/13 would be a good date.
Shame we don't have a straight forward name for these New Metal badges.
