When I first noticed the anomaly between the Admiralty badges I assumed it was possibly a simple design/die error but when the same 'anomaly' appears on the HMNZ Transports badges that seems unlikely.
What are the odds that two manufacturers (on opposite sides of the world) would both make the same mistake on different badges at approximately the same time ?
Here are photos of three HMNZ Transports badges with C.M. Bay makers marks , what I find difficult to comprehend is how a well established and reputable manufacturer could make such a basic design error.
