Default Royal Corps of Signals with blades.

Has anyone come across this type of fixing on an other ranks badge, I've only seen them on Officers badges.
Cheers Tony.

How about an unfinished Officers badge?

Hi Tony,
It could be meant to be like that? For an Officer
I have a couple of Officers S&G Bladed badges, Loyals and Lancs Fusiliers, and a silver plate Kings own with blades if you look in my album.

Tony,
I think it has been made to resemble an officers badge, it looks dodgy to me!!

Andy

Unless a complete "Cheapskate" officers would have worn something like this

Looks like a poorly made cast copy, made recently.

Simon,
if you are referring to my badge, then the images don't do it justice, it is a quality item despite being cast.

Andy,
I am referring to the badge that this thread is the subject of, not yours.

Hello Simon, definitely not cast, though wouldn't argue with rest of your description.
Cheers Tony.
