The more I see and read about this badge, the more I'm convinced the 'full size' 4 in nickel and worn in the cap/beret only existed as an officers badge..

The more I see examples of this badge the more I share your opinion that there was no official issue of this badge but that the regt adulterated existing CLY badges themselves. Officers bought their own badges so they could commission what they wanted. This of course presents the problem of what is a contempory locally made or adulterated CLY badge and what has been produced since then.
