Hello,
Fascinating thread and just a wealth of information. I have a couple of female RAD badges but never really had any idea if real repro or what. The first badge I have is what I thought to be a 2nd(?) pattern brooch. Always thought it was good but after reading this thread and that bronze versions may not have even existed. The piece is not flimsy or able to be bent easily. I attach a picture for confirmation on it being bogus. Also have what looks like a Long Service award,ribbon definately not original or the type used on this badge I think. I always thought that this most likely was not a good piece. Have attached a picture of this item also for comments and verification about it. Again fantastic thread with great info. It's nice to see items from organizations like this being discussed as opposed to the usual combat related discussions.
Thanks,
Duzig(Bill)
