I have a catalogue of my badges. Here's the first five of 50 odd variations of this type - which has which die, maker, date etc, description, metals, fixtures, dimensions, weight, alternatations etc, and finally an "accession number" - eg <37> and kept in individual bags.
(full details etc comes from my years in a museum.)
I just realised that I cannot insert the symbols for the shape of the 'tabs' - linking the two pieces of metal - eg horse and scroll
