I was puzzled as to why the Royal Armament Research and Development Establishment (RARDE) would have a sample as it was not their area of research, so I wrote to the Defence Research Agency (DRA) and the Defence Clothing and Textiles Agency (DCTA) a few years back as clothing (including badges) is the reemit of DCTA not RARDE (DRA) and both could not confirm the existence of a sample of this badge, nor did they deny there may have been one at Fort Halstead!
