Hi John, as far as I know the white metal badge was only worn by cadets in SA. The universal badge was worn in different sizes and in blackened, bronze and gilding metal. I have seen photos of the same unit with a variety of these. Obviously depending on availability on intake of new recruits or replacement badges. There were also privately made badges made by jewelers during this time. Regards Andrew

Rank and file wore gilding metal, officers wore silver, on occasion, in both sizes, but, they also had a very fine die cast copper large version which had a rich mercurial fire gilt finish.

When you say "silver" do you mean white metal or cast silver badges? Regards Brian |
