Anodised Aluminium (Staybrite) badges and buttons were first issued in the 1950s and, although many are still current, badges in 'New Metal', a few with enamels, were introduced for some new Corps and Regiments from the 1990s.
These sets are ideal to frame with a veteran's photos and medals as a visual record of loyal service to the Crown.
