What throws me off is the two line version seems to have been the focus of the CAO. Here are images of those pages and you will see the example provided and the sizes support the two line version. There is a series of files 13/CLOTH/5 that cover badges but I suspect these are only the CMHQ files and won't have anything about CAPF. If you can provide the reference for your post on the CAPF material I'll go check them out. Maybe there are samples in the file...
I just can't get the idea out of my head that I've seen period photos showing the two line version in the 48-54 time frame. Based on the CSTC request it seems clear that the two line version wasn't adopted for use by the Corps as a whole so any photos should date from only 1945. Have I got that wrong?
