No, that is original, but, the condition, in particular, on it's reverse, is not good!
Never mind, you will find a better example without any problems, they are not rare. Quote:

Loupie,
Yes going by his photo and the bar on his Africa Star but I don't know much else about his war service. I have just started working on my family history and realise there were many questions I should have asked my Mum and Dad when I could have. Peter

Hello. I too have a small collection of Plastic Badges and i came to the conclusion that most were made in the Midlands (Birmingham, England). The makers of the Plastic Badge that i own are " A. STANLEY & SONS WALLSALL", "JR & L Ltd, BIRMINGHAM", and "F&G", some plastic badges i have have no makers name on at all. I would like to show this plastic "ESSEX REGIMENT" Badge, the makers "A STANLEY & SONS WALLSALL".
Peter.

I have seen photographs of plastic badges that were painted. They are to units which had bi-metal badges so that the application of either and a "silver" or a "gilt" paint made it look like the original. I assume this treatment was done on a personal level.

Paint to simulate bi-metal was done at personal/unit level, single colour badges were also painted gold by Stanley and Sons. There were a few two plastic coloured badges, The Royal Scots for instance and the Borders had a red plastic center.

Hello Peter,
About that medal I mentioned, I'm thinking James Brydon, now come on, tell me all about it, you know, I bet he must have known George Carter, you must be very proud.  Regards Frank Quote:

Frank,
I have my fathers and grandfathers medals ( top row and centre in the photo ) but I also collect medals to the family name so all the other medals are to Brydons but the other recipients are not (as far as I am aware ) relatives ( I wish they were ). ( coincidently Carter was my maternal grandfathers surname ) Peter.

Hello Peter,
Okay, I see, well it's certainly not a common name, I like the medal and have a considerable collection of these, they really were quite magnificent and James Brydon was certainly no exception. Kind regards Frank Quote:
