Gents, as a slight aside, I have only ever found 2 makers for the RRW cap badge in anodised alluminium:- Firmins and the London Badge & Button Company (LB&B). They have distinctive die variations:-
LB&B:- . Deeper cuts separating the plumes at the top. . Smaller jewells on the crown and clear in the centres. . The 'Ich Dien' scroll can be found fully seeded on some examples. . Marked 'LB&B' on rear or unmarked. FIRMIN:- . Shallow cuts to plume ends. . Larger (donut jewells, sic Cam) on crown with striations inside. . Scroll not found seeded . Marked 'Firmin & Sons', 'FIRMIN' or 'F&S' (latter found in a Firmin bag dated 13.2.06 - interestingly made less than a month before the RRW ended) I have both an all gold and an all silver example - clearly unfinished/errors. Both are unmarked LB&B examples. For interests sake chaps. Be interested if anyone has other variations. Bess |

Jerry, there is. If you look at my third pic of the group, new metal is bottom left - with the Royal Welsh shaped backing). It appears to be from the LB&B die.
All the best Bess |

Jerry, if you're looking for variations, I'll check my spares. I'll drop you a PM if I have anything.

Bess,
A few other examples for you. 1st & 2nd from top left - Welsh Brigade Officer’s bullion beret and silver cap badges. This last appears to be unmarked silver rather than plated and is marked for J.R.Gaunt London. 1st & 2nd from left second row - Officer’s s&g fully hall marked for London 1991, maker SER, and Officer’s frosted s&g. This last is unmarked but came with the effects of an ACF Captain. The a/a examples are the same as yours with the addition of the far right which is unmarked, very good detail and looks to be from the Firmin die. Hwyl, Kevin |

It's in better condition than the one I have on a
beret manufactured circa 1979 - 1985. |
