As far as I know the Garter and scroll should be seeded on the gold coloured version.

Possibly an unmarked LB&B example

Ooh, so possibly not a copy

The original anodised aluminium badges in both colours had a seeded garter and scroll.

Chris,you could do with seeing the reverse of Bess's LBB&B gold version.As that is the most likely match for the one you've got.

Note the gold LB&B error.

Hi Bess
May I see your LB&B error badge rear please.
Mike thinks my badge might be this one.

Many thanks

Thank you for the very interesting posts. One question and excuse my ignorance. What does "seeded" mean when applied to a cap badge? I haven't come across this term before.
Thanks

A description from an old post :

"Seeding is the background stippling effect, frequently on otherwise plain areas of a badge, such as the background to title scrolls."

Thank you mike_vee for the explanation. My gold anodised is seeded, but the silver anodised is not.

The badge in post 15 does not look seeded to me, maybe just the image.

Chaps, apologies for my tardiness, been double busy at work!

Attached better images of the Gold LB&B example.

Hope that helps. I agree with Chris that it is 'possible' that its early 70's contemporary, but I dont think this example is . . .its physically ident to the silver examples and is not seeded.
