In part that is what led me to believe it was a copy when he and I discussed the badge. (Colin's badge did appear to have a RD number though, but I was unable to discern what it was).
All-in-all it's a bit of a minefield, especially when it comes to the uncommon (and therefore hard-to-find) badges   .

RD numbers on NZ Camp badges are important when it comes to understanding who designed them. However that being said, many original camp badges do not have RD numbers, and are poorly hand finished.
