Staybrite Badge Definition

[hagwalther]

Hi Guys,

As part of my investigation into the classification of British Army Staybrite cap badges I am attempting to define what a British Army staybrite cap badge actually is.

So far I have come up with this definition.

A metallic item of dress designed for use in the head gear of various organisational units of the British Army composed of electroplated aluminium.

Note that this definition is incomplete as it does not contain:

a) any date entity as to when the badges were used
b) the manufacturing process used to create the badges
c) what the purpose of the badge in the head dress was actually for

This hopefully will be added later when I have discovered the manufacturing time line and investigated the manufacturing process of this genre of badges etc.

Would members of the forum post comment as required.

Note that before we can identify a fake item we need to be able to define what an authentic example of a staybrite badge actually is.

Regards

Chris
