Not sure what to make of this all-(g/m?) Suffolk cap badge:

Any thoughts appreciated.

With thanks,

Is it an OSD bronze Peter? I have a similar one.

I thought lugged ones were collar badges? (But having said that its not Y&L so what do I know)!

I had one of these, but was told that 99.999% of all OSD's were tanged. So, I got rid of it........

I hope it is an OSD, but I'll be a little irritated.

Thanks gents,

The points you raise are precisely where the confusion lies for me.

Also, the colour is slightly odd... yellow-metal (not bronze/d), but it has that nice OSD die-cast look to the rear.

Hmmm!

That was my thoughts Peter when I had one. Seemed like an expensive process for a copy.

Point taken, Simon.

Thought it might give us a little diversion on a slow Wednesday afternoon
