A nice one to open my account, so cheers Paul

There seem to be a few variations for this unit. It was supposedly issued with both lugs and slider. Generally speaking lugged badges on KK1449 follow-on from the IY version (KK1340), and it seems the good ones to look for have 3 lugs (behind front right leg; rear left leg and centre torso). I have '2' lugged specimens in my collection and they look identical to the die/cast version except the lug position. So I am open to suggestion on this. The badge was also issued with a slider and in die-cast form and have been found with J R Gaunt tablets also. Check out this buywyze photo:

(Should show front and rear)

K&K report that it was issued in all gilding metal; WM body and GM scroll and all bronze.

Cheers, Gar
