Evening Gents,
I have a couple of SWB's in my collection which I'm trying to identify, as regards to a possible maker. Both badges are identical with the exception of catch plates, one being rectangular the other being round.
I have done many searches but have yet to come up with anything exact
, by way of a description; Both weigh in at between 25/26gms and are 44 x 36mm also what makes these badge distinctive (at least to me) is the feel of depth each has.
The outer edge is reletively thin, each has a thickness just shy of 3mm, where the centre is from reverse to the top of the swastica 5mm on one and 4.85mm on the other, along with the fact that the berries are very promenant and the swords are well detailed. This IMO gives each badge a nice depth and a kind of 3D effect (for want of a better term).
If anyone can help with a possible maker or a link to were this type of badge has been discussed, or any ideas at all I would be very much obliged.
Many Thanks,
Dan.
