Hi Reg, yes, it does indeed say "Guards"
I just love the variants to be found in these badges.
Cheers, Ade.

Gentlemen,
This is a GPW era badge that has an enamel configuration unknown to me. Is it original to the badge or a refurbish?

Hi Gus, it looks OK to me. I have seen this pattern of badge before, as the bottom of the banner is quite distinctive.
Most modern enamel is actually plastic based. You can test it by heating a needle and then try and stick it into enamel. If it is modern plastic based it will sink in.
Cheers, Ade.
Early postwar badge.
Agree with Azad, that is circa 45-46 year

Gentlemen,
Thanks a lot for your replies.
I thought it was wartime because it lacked the fringe, but reading previous posts, I see the fringe was introduced in 1946.
Regards,
Gus
