An important aspect of numismatics (part of my day job) is die linking and I am beginning to see patterns in KLR badges - as clearly is Griff for his badges.
Anyway, I was going to mention the range of production that the War Office ordered in April 1916. A cap badge tender went out - presumably to many different manufacturers - for varying amounts between 2,000 (1st Life Guards) to 200,000 (Royal Artillery - ASC were only 100,000 !). Presumably manufacturers - if they didn't join forces - had to be able to cater for such diverse figures ?
PS, here are three female dies from my KLR collection (I've yet to find any male ones)
