Here's a nice set I pulled the pics of recently...Chief Warden but with an original cloth cover. The cover was either an IO's (it looked like it was once blue) or, probably more likely, made and used to hide the seniority of the wearer. As the Invasion looked imminent and the skies were filled with raiders, white helmetted staff became concerned that their gleaming white steel badge of rank would single them out for special attention...hessian and cloth covers were used by some to obscure their status.
