AUSTRALIAN WW2 SKILL-AT-ARMS BADGE

LIGHT GUNNER
Skill-at-arms badges replaced worsted badges in 1918. Originally of brass or gilding metal, oxidized badges were introduced for Citizen Forces and Senior Cadets in 1921. Permanent Forces continued to wear badges of brass or gilding metal. In 1931 oxidized badges appear to have been discontinued with all badges being of brass or gliding metal.

This badge was awarded to first class Lewis and Hotchkiss gunners.

Copper (oxidised) badge with backing plate. Lugs complete, but with pins.
