I would suggest that the Australia embroided on the rank badge is an integral part of that badge.

hi sarmajor
i think thats what i said. 3 standard components or patches in this case sewn together. it appears the the FM emblem has been embroidered direct to the cloth and a crown patch added above and the title ribbon stitched below.
dont get me wrong, its a magnificent item and almost as good a story of how you came by it, but to compare it to a badge that has had a die hand cut (front and back) and then a badge or 2 produced is for me rarer?
