Saw this:
At RAF Scampton at the weekend, it's white plastic! They also had silver/grey plastic versions of the standard ATC cap badge and even the smaller ATC lapel badge, sorry I forgot to photograph those.

Whatever its just an opinion.
Picked up another Royal Signals by Stanley, but a slightly different version to the one I already had. Sadly it is in poor condition and the crown is near to breaking off, but the price reflected its condition.

Another nice addition. Only one I picked up since last time is this Royal Engineers one from the classifieds here.

I had noticed that too. Strange to have at least three ( that we know of) different moulds for the same badge. Why make regular moulds. plastic injection does not wear out moulds that easily, does it?
Tom
I used to make injection moulds and they did need replacing, but how often I can't remember, as I mostly made die punch tools and only rarely made injection moulds.

G'day fellas
A Stanley and Son's made "General Service Corps" hat badge.
Mould 1A.
This is the only "economy" British insignia piece I have in my collection.
If I was issued one of these I would be somewhat disappointed I feel as they just don't have the character of a metal badge.
They would have upset WO's and Senior Sgt's I bet as they can't be polished. "You orrible little man why isn't that badge polished."

Got this one for the SWB coming to me, the sellers pics until it arrives. It kills two birds with one stone so to speak, as it is a plastic I did not have and is another addition for my Welch regiments cap badges. The nice thing about the plastics is that you know they are 100% genuine and period as the fakes/copies are really bad so far.
