Default Rifle Green Trade Badges
What are people views please on when this unoffical trade badge was manufactured. I have a MMG in the same font which came from Canada but may or may not be of Canadian manufacture. Is this war-time or post war?

I have one similar medic one that was listed as Gurkha. What is the difference between them?

Gurkha examples would be post 1960 so 2/3 the size of this one. What does a WW2 Rifle Green Trade badge look like?

REME, My "Gurkha" medic patch in the same colors is 42 MM diameter in size. Does that help in identifying it any more accurately?

Thanks,

Terry
