Hi Guys,

Point on this badge which was raised via a PM to me. Both crown types have pattern No.s which implies that some badges were made in A/A for sample and then used in pattern cards.

However, beware that some A/A pattern cards were in fact previously issued GM/WM cards 'promoted' for A/A use.

Therefore, either this (these) badges could have come from a pattern card and never batch manufactured which makes them very rare or, an initial batch was in fact manufactured but due to small difference in size have not been really noticed yet by the collecting community.

Recomment we all check what we have...

Pattern No. for KC is: 14832
Pattern No. for QC is: 17611

Regards,

Chris
