KIRKY Posted 7 August , 2012 Share Posted 7 August , 2012 Hi I have restrike cap badge to above and it is all silver coloured with no brass bits! Is this a faulty restrike or could it be correct? Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Owl Posted 7 August , 2012 Share Posted 7 August , 2012 Hi Kirky, You really need to post a good sharp image of your badge--to enable anyone to make a comment on your 'restrike'. It is just possible that the badge is either chrome or silver plated. Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Owl Posted 7 August , 2012 Share Posted 7 August , 2012 Hi Kirky, I cannot say if your badge is a copy for certain--perhaps a photo of the back may help? I have found however that this badge was worn all in white metal after the Second World War by Warrant Officers and Sergeants. Hope this helps.

KIRKY Posted 7 August , 2012 Author Share Posted 7 August , 2012 Thanks for that, it is not so important if it is a restrike more a question of is it right for WW1 being all white metal. I got in believing it was WW1 . tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max7474 Posted 9 August , 2012 Share Posted 9 August , 2012 It is not WW1. WW1 badges would be bi-metal or all brass. While pre1915 TF bns often had w/m badges in the Middlesex's case they had a South Africa honour scroll (10th bn was blank) and not the Albuhera title so it is not pre war TF either.
