This is a good question! I have only ever seen smaller versions for MMG in all bronze, but are we to assume a larger cap badge existed? I can't check at the moment, but isn't this mentioned in K&K? The one I have is attached. It has blades, so beret badge? It's small at 33mmx40mm Regards, Neil |

MMG Variations
I have never been totally happy with the "Larger MMG" overlaid. Like Mike, I have never noticed that there was no void between the M and G. The one below is a little less wonky that the one shown earlier, but would this even have been accepted?
The other version shown is the smaller "hanging" scroll, which I have always thought was good. Any comments Cheers, Neil |

not a beret badge as they were not introduced until much later, this is a "SUPERB" OSD Cap Badge! Andy |

I would say your larger badge is good whereas the other looks suspect to me? Andy |

Thanks Andy! Am happy to hear both comments
The officers badge is very small for a cap? But collar with blades? Cheers, Neil |

If we assume that in 1915 there was a load of badges bought privatly by the CO as described, then it is not unreasonsable to assume that there were:
a. Subsequent orders - possibly to another firm. b. A WD authorised badge sometime post 1916. Thus it is entirely possible that both versions are correct. Personally I am happy with both. |
