Thanks for the photographs.
It does seem to be a poor striking. Very odd!

Must be the light Bill, the smaller one of the three is of good quality. All three has a gilding metal match, so same die's must have been used.

All the belt buckles are different shapes so not the same die.
I noticed the RHG badge has a rectangular not oval or 8 shaped buckle like the CG stars.

Bill, i meant the white metal cap stars have a gilding metal match. For instance the smaller white metal cap star is of the same die as the gilt cap star.
