Default Is this a Danby Mint RMP badge?

Hi All,

The title says it all really. I've bought it thinking it's a Danbury Mint badge but when I've looked at the RMP badge in Grey Green Acorn's album:

https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo...id=1177&page=2

The blades on mine are attached slightly differently. Is it just a variation or have I got something else?

Thanks a lot,

Michael

Are the blades fitted over a little stub of metal ?

Hi Mike,

I'm not sure, it looks as though there could be but nothing is visible.

Strange . I can see why you think it's a Danbury. At 1st glance I'd agree ,but looking closer it may not be.
The Danburys have quiet a big end fitted to the badge,these seem small with a hole in them.
Some years ago I was given an RMP badge with pins on the back. These had to be bent round to secure the badge.This I was told was for the Warrant Card. Yours could well be a earlier version of the Warrant Card badge .

Hello Michael, I have 2 RMP A/A badges with blades N & S which I believe were both Danby Mint but now seeing this I have one the same as Post 3 so maybe a Warrant card badge??
