Default HAC badges

These are mine;

brass cypher on w/m grenade (bolt)
w/m cypher on brass grenade (pinned)
nickel plated brass badge - 1950s?
chromed badge - BP maker - thought this was an early maker but chrome is WW2 or later
silver frosted grenade - genuine or a Mint one?
Brass grenade
Large brass grenade - maker variation but noticeably larger.

I was told long ago to avoid the bolted BM badges. Both my WM and GM grenade examples are pinned in place and slidered. The WM grenade one is post war and by Firmin.

Nice Bodill marked badge, I’d suspect it’s manufactured during or closer to WW1. It could have been chromed later.

I suspect the bolted badges are modern rather than WW1 or WW2. I think they are still worn today so not necessarily repro.
