Interesting thread, the ACC was a sizable Corps, but, you certainly do see corners being cut, regarding the production of cap badges, in common with many others during this period.
I have never understood why there are and have been, for quite some time, so many fakes around simply because of the great number of originals made, although, I suppose the same is true of many badges.

The waters are further muddied by the amount of fake A.C.C. there are on the market.
