Iain, this is all very interesting, I have two variations of NZ British Section cap badges, when I get time I will post some pics.
I am wondering if any forum members have the hard to find “laurel leaves” British Section collar badges, so we could get some size measurements????
I would also be very interested to hear Cliffs (Quicksilver) thoughts on the subject.
Dave Corbett wrote his books as a guide for us collectors, they have stood as the best NZ badge resources for the last 40 years, I think Dave would be proud that people are picking up on research that he started and taking it to the next level.
No pressure Puk old boy, but here is a picture of Dave (Middle row, 2nd from left) so you can look him in the eye as you type an amendment to his British Section chapter.
