I mentioned in another thread that, like Redshanks, I don't care for the weight of most pewter badges. I find that they tend to pull the left-hand side of my bonnet down; I even retired my oldest USMC badge for the same reason. It looks really good, but it weighs about a 1/2 pound and pulls the bonnet down.



I wear thinner, lighter silver padges almost exclusively now, and I think you'll like them if you can find some to your liking.
