OWS badge

[dumdum]

Hi all

Here's an OWS badge that is a little different. Firstly it's fairly small (around 20mm) and also it would appear that the body of the badge is struck but the detail involves what I believe is painting enamel.

Possibly the same technique that was used on porcelain and you often see this on Masonic medals and the like. It does however mean that it is more prone to damage and cannot be easily repaired.

The badge is a pin back style and I was able to find Granite Boot Co with some ease. They specialised in "quarry boots" so probably also made that footwear that ruined the feet of our Tommies so effectively...

Sorry, I've just previewed this post and, yes, the badge is small but my limited PC skills have made it minute.......

Will post a better one later!
