Had to get the flash and hackle from ebay, found the badge in an antique shop in Arundel, wish I'd had one like it when I was in!

There is glass in the frame, it's optically coated.

The medal is for three years and you get a clasp for every three thereafter.

Believe it’s now been reduced to around 700 days before you get one

Probably something like, maybe depending on if you are serving or not and if not, when you left. In my case it wasn't thought of before I left and I had to apply for it after I left. The LS&GC took a plea of mitigation and I received it a few weeks before I left, no parade or anything, passed across a desk. So the only medal I actually wore on parade was the NI one and that was only on a drill and turnout competition in Lemgo anyway.
