Looks like those fake enamel badges that you used to make Brad
(sorry I just couldn't resist!!!) The enamel is badly done and the colours just don't look right |

Re: "Officers" 4th Australian Rifles Hat Badge
This badge is a sweetheart badge.
During the 1930's and 1940's ads appeared in the newspapers of the time by jewellers offering to enamel badges for "your Sweetheart" If you do a search of "Trove" you may find the adverts listed. So the unlucky purchaser of this badge did not pickup a rare and unidentified militia officers badge but a sweetheart badge. An expensive sweetheart badge at $330usd! |
