Did Maples and Beasley still exist in the early 90`s ?
Id have thought that youd be looking for a Firmin ,TKS or London Badge and Button mark.
I read this and looked at mine,the R.Irish badges have a crown that is a lot larger than my gold UDR badge. 5 to 6mm east to west I think, which is quite a lot in badge terms.
