Luckily now that you have put the full title within the thread it can be found. However, if the thread had continued to only use the abbreviation "SBS/SRR, it would have been very difficult to locate. Not just that, not everyone is "up" on what SBS/SRR stands for and the casual observer with an interest in advancing their knowledge, would be left scratching their head

A classic example here;

Very simple if you know, but even an experienced collector like Marc doesn't have a clue!

To answer the question:

SBS in anodised aluminium is 35mm x 25mm (Mess Dress)

SBS in bronzed finish is 44mm x 34mm (Lovats)

SRR in 'new metal' I can't measure at present as in storage
