All I gotta do is think about cap stars and Richie stops by. :)
I notice your example on the right and mine have a rope-like border to the white enamel area whereas your other example does not.
As always you have great pieces Richie. Out of curiousity how many cockardes in your collection dare I ask?
I got lucky on this one from eBay. The picture wasn't that great and this badge was lumped in with about 15 other non-cap badges. I was focusing on the tankers badge and just figure this cockarde was the usual, cheapo aluminium variety. Imagine my gratified feeling upon finding enamel and heavy metal. :)
