Hi Frank,

The pattern cards are made from the badges supplied as samples to the War Office/Army Dress Committee post regimental Colonel initial design, portrait (signed by Soverign) etc. etc, etc. If the ADC approved them they were used on the Standard/Master Pattern cards/tags.

Those left over were usually dumped in the bin.

Pattern cards/tags are only a guide for badge makers to follow nothing else hence so many genuine variations of the same badge.

Regards,

Chris
