GS Cap Badge - Good or Bad?
I just picked up this GS Cap Badge for my Molly Dawes display. Upon receipt I see it has lugs, while the other one I have has a slider. Brings up several questions.
Is this a valid badge, having the lugs? Is it possibly the new metal? Would it be correct for 2013-14 time frame? Here is a picture of the badge as well of a picture of Dawes wearing hers in the series. The one she's wearing seems more brass looking?  .jpg?width=960&height=720&fit=bounds) Thank your for any help on this! Terry

It looks to be of anodised aluminium, lugs as per for WO1's wrist band?

Thanks Leigh, then not a cap badge at all! I'll keep looking.
Reading your reply to say the badge she is wearing is AA, or is it brass? Takes place in 2013-14. Terry Last edited by Home Guard; 20-06-21 at 05:05 PM.

I think the badge worn in the photo is new metal.
