Hi Jack
Looks OK to me. Quite a nice typical example of a post WWII cast silvered arm badge. According to Linaker & Dine these were probably produced in Germany c.1948 and were the last pattern used by the 'Greys'. There are badges from at least three dies thought to be of German origin of this period so there are some variants. Rob

Lockdales
Isn't this silver RSG eagle for sale at Lockdales, dated 1913, an arm badge?

Is there a photograph of the reverse or do we merely have to take "their" word for it, clearly, after recent posts on this forum, not the best saleroom in the country.

Lockdales have been very helpful and sent photographs.
It is cast silver. I've checked the hallmark and it is definitely 1913. I think it is a senior NCO's arm badge since the top of the staff is included under the Waterloo plaque, similar to those sold by DNW: https://www.dnw.co.uk/auction-archiv...&lot_id=306531 To quote Lockdales email: "Pin fitting to reverse. (Did have 2 lugs to the reverse at some time). Hallmarked F&S Birm., 1913. Weighs 19.2gms." Bill

I am pleased to hear of that very positive experience with this saleroom, my own thoughts would be to take people as you find them, rather than be influenced by other peoples opinions, including mine.
I would say, go with yourself if you are happy with the photographs and bid.
