I must agree with you Phil, about those Tiptaft badges. Whilst the collars are quite delicate looking, pretty little badges, the rays on the hat badges do have those dags on the rays, and often an unevenness that gives the appearance that they were scalloped with a blunt tool.
To me they are not the prettiest of rising suns and I have often wondered why so much emphasis is placed upon them.
Enjoy your port and dark chocolate.
