Most of the backing is missing. It should be a large red triangle point down.

Nice version with crimp and clear voided dragon chin. I don't know the dates of use for the Brandywine Flash but I believe it was not always a point down triangle, and so I find no fault with the backing, though hard to say if original. I have seen several with similar amounts of 'Flash' including red metal and plastic like material. Regards, Paul.
Date for badge backing looks to be 1934- I don't know when the triangle came into use. https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo...ad.php?t=40258
