Hi Guys,
The list of changes introducing the A/A badge was dated 30th April 1952 and as Bess55 shows the older pattern badge was used as a guide for the new A/A large item. This was quite common in the early 1950's as it negated the use of samples being made in A/A for a new pattern card.
By List of Changes change C 8798, dated 30th November 1957, the large A/A version with Tudor Crown (if indeed any were ever made) was deemed obsolete being replaced by the St. Edwards Crown piece again in a large size. These St. Edwards Crown pieces have now surfaced and a few collectors have them.
Regards,
Chris
