Further examples include a bimetal regimental badge for ‘THE ESSEX REGT’ depicting a castle, and another bimetal regimental badge for ‘NORTHAMPTONSHIRE’ featuring a castle and battle honours ‘GIBRALTAR’ and ‘TALAVERA’. Also present are a monometal white metal badge with a tank and the motto ‘FEAR NAUGHT’, and a white metal badge for the Royal Armoured Corps (RAC) depicting a gauntlet. The badges are primarily of bimetal construction (brass/gilt and white metal) or monometal white metal/gilt.
