Royal engineers Militia badge

Hi all
Just wondering how the M was fixed on these badges?
Was it brazed or pin typ attachment.
Thanks in advance
Bc

Hello Bc,
Here's a RA Militia badge missing its 'M'.
Note the small perforation, whether for a pin fixing or a braze hole, I don't know.

I posted one on the forum a while ago and was told it was fake because it wasn't pinned.
Cheers,

I have several RE badges with the "M" over 3 reigns and they are both pinned and brazed.

Although you find GVI RE cap badges, I am not sure that RE Militia units would have existed post 1908 other than the Monmouthshires who retained the militia title.
