I think that this post (the one with the 5 different versions) relates to the mapel leaf special distinction and not the NCO's armbadge. At least that is how I read it. John

Mapel leaf
The mapel leaf was never produced in bronze. The early badges were silver/WM ? with blade fittings, and later sow on A/A.

Hello Didier,
This pattern was worn prior to and during the great war. A smaller badge designed for wear on the beret was used in WWII. A visual difference for the latter is that there is no gap between the back of the neck and the top of the wing. Regards, Garry

Hi Tony, yes; I did notice the scrolls on the one in the galleries are voided as you at least one. I took a chance on this one as I hoped maybe a makers variation. Let's see any other comments. I've spotted another one that looks good so if I send this back I';ll take the other I've seen. Been after this one for some time.....
 Cheers Simon.

Hi Simon,
I have seen many different forms of ' bronzed ' badges over the years and I know there are also many variations of brass but this is the first ' mustardised ' badge I have seen, is it really the colour as seen in the photograph ??....... Any time Tony. Dave.

Hi I hope you don,t mind me putting these to you whilst this thread is still rolling! two NIH brass which must refer to small beret no markings, makers names or such and a W/M collar? looking at the rear fixing! hope these pass muster and as I don,t have the larger size of this badge and would obviously like one! if any-one has the larger going spare & missing the smaller size perhaps we might exchange? cheers billy
