Thanks Stephen,

‘Collar badges- All collar badges will, in future, be fitted with a short single shank of flat metal pierced with an aperture to allow the badge to be firmly fixed by a back plate and cotter pin.’
New fastenings applied to new production, but existing badges of old stock fastenings were to be issued until stocks exhausted.
