Default EviiiR Royal Engineers "HOWZAT"

My second attempt at purchasing a EviiiR Royal Engineers cap badge, a better example than my first? See this thread https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo...ad.php?t=66622
New images. Opinions welcome.

Hi Tony

That looks to be a nice one, well done.

Looks like you have bowled a maiden over.

Regards

Phil.

Tony

That is a very nice badge. The common copies have voids in the wreath as they have been faked using an officer style of badge.

My one is a very yellow toned metal. I have a GVI version made of equally yellow metal.

My example is also yellow, though this may not be evident from the images, and yes l once had a yellow 'brass' GviR example.
Cheers Tony.

Would the yellow brass versions bee WWII era?
(Just thinking of the RAPC WWII variation made in brass and GM instead of WM and GM).
