Coastal Artillery Badge

[Steve Conway]

Hi guys,

Just been browsing the Badges and Awards forum and there is an FLL CAB with 43 below the makers mark. The 43 doesn't seem to relate to FLL in terms of numbers associated with them, does this number indicate a year of manufacture?

Hi Steve,

My understanding is the 43 is either the year of manufacture for the badge (although you don't see 44 or 45) or the year of manufacture of the die. I don't think anyone definitely knows for
certain though.

Hi Mike,

Thanks, while I was away I noticed an FLL GAB in Franks book that had the same marking, the book says it is the date.
