Uk made lugs are rounded on the outside and flat on the inside, as can be found on all 3 badges shown in picture #5 from your post #26. Post-war Belgium made lugs are made of round copper wire, see attachment. |

I have one of these in a white plastic, or similar looking badge because the badges I have don’t appear to have the Tongue! Need to look at what I have, will post a picture when I dig them out, but have you heard of a White plastic badge?
All the best billy |

Post-war Belgium plastic cap badges as per attachments, with tongue virgo intacta.
Not quite white but lighter than the British equivalent. |

Here is a photo of a white one in Merville Piron's Bunker. Weird they display a post war one there. |

Here is the White plastic where you can on the 2nd picture see a stub of the Tongue.
The next picture doesn’t do the badge justice as it is a lovely Gold Gilded badge, rear has loops. The remaining are post WW2 with the thin wire! these are awful as break easily! 2 gilt and one W/M. Also two smaller badges (collars?) W/M the larger and gilt. Hope this helps and just for confirmation the White Plastic with loops was “post WW2” ?? All the best billy |

Your second badge is great and quite unusual large edges from the back. From the third one and after looks all post war lugs as you said. |

For comparison: bronze - officers, wm - NCO's, brass - OR's and Wellington college.

It is the badge of the Belgian ww2 resistance group "Partizanen leger" or in French "armée partisans" Normally worn on a white or blue armband. |

Someone is selling one of those type lugs: https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo...2&d=1667325773
Claiming that it was worn and distributed to the Piron Brigade in UK (Irish brigade or fusiliers 1944-1946). Also saying he had the same version stamped by Gaunt. Anyone has ever seen a Gaunt stamped Piron one ? From the info I gathered + the ones from Luc, those type of lugs were post war. |
