Hi Ray, badge M-175. The St-Andrew's cross is white metal. The fact that it appears as brass-coloured is most probably due to the lighting condition.

Hi Ray it's one of Larry Will's . think his scanner must have had an off day.
Haven't "processed" that one either - its in the raw so may improve when I have a go at it.

Mike.
