OK - what needs to be done to find out if 'Staybrite' really was a commercial name.

If it was a commercial name then the badges should be classified generically as anodised aluminium.

The path I'm thinking here is 'Biro' v's 'Ball Point Pen' - Biro was the commercial name from a French manufacture but the generic name is Ball Point Pen.

So, who came up with the staybrite name?

This does sound really picky but I need to know the correct designation of these types of badges.

The official military name would help too.

I remember codes being called Nato Stock Numbers (NSN) from years back. Is there a NSN code book around with a sub-title in it describing these items with the actual badges with their NSN's below the title? This would be a very good indication as to what these badges actually are known as.
