Default western australian Military Forces

Yesterday I picked up this rather attractive badge. A little delving through the Forum archives showed that it was the badge worn by the WA Military forces from 1895-1901. It's reason for being in South Africa is probably because it's original owner left it behind when he returned to Aus after the Boer War.
It is missing the black leather backing. Can anyone post a pic. of one so that I can see what it looks like ?
Thanks
Mike

G'day natal01,

Here you go. It is certainly a nice badge. There is also a non voided slightly different version.

I, too, would be interested to know if it is up for offers.
