Default Army Service Corps Badge Anomaly

After a bit of help with this badge which I picked up at the weekend at a boot sale.

Appears to be a white metal cap badge for the Army Service Corps which has had the slider snapped off and wire loops fitted.

Is this just a field repair? Any thoughts appreciated.

Regards Simon.

Definitely w/m, not y/m with a w/m coating?
(It shows as having brassy coloured highlights on my screen).

Leigh,

Looking again there are areas of the badge obverse which appear to have had a yellow metal coating though most has faded away or been rubbed off.

Thanks Simon,

Do you feel the rear lugs are as issued or a field repair or similar, there appears to be the remains of a slider fitting below the crown on the reverse.

Simon.
