The black brass looks as if it's been powder coated Neil. I have a number of badges from this period and there black factory anodised or black painted anodised. I have a black painted metal one I was given by an ex Officer also. Never seen black powder coated ones,saying that a serving soldier would have got away with wearing it in the field or in NI.

From a mate who is ex 2 RGJ. 1 and 3 RGJ wore silver badges, 2 wore blackened ones. He said this was because of their heritage from KRRC. I suppose they probably all wore blackened ones on patrol in NI, but if you see the associations on parade, the ex 2 RGJ guys proudly wear the blackened one.
