A nice original unmarked FCL IAB.
But I will have to disagree with you regarding the grade. FCL is known for their use of a nice copper undercoating. The silver finish that is worn away on your badge reveals that coating
Kind regards,
Giel

Agree with Giel, a fine original F&CL in silver.

Oh, nice to learn about that Giel. I had no idea.
Ok so one more in silver. Pity but at least it's an original and would display nicely on a salty tunic
Thanks for the replies guys

Hello
I also agree with Giel...an unmarked FCL design in slver grade.
I can see where one would get the impression this is a bronze ISA.
These examples had a reddish-black undercoating applied before the silver/white frosted finish coating.
As the frosted finish was delicate, these are often found in worn condition with only the undercoat remaining.
Here is one I have to compare.
