I can only suggest that you check out the corps history, although it makes no mention of the badge in use for rank and sadly has not used very many photos at all in order to keep costs down, given that it is full of extensive data. Nevertheless, it is very specific about the large crown badge and its introduction. History of the Small Arms School Corps 1853-2017, ISBN 978-1-912866-21-2. The book has made full use of the corps archives.
I'm not quite sure how many times I have to say that I accept that there are copies, restrikes, 'fantasy badges', whatever you want to call them.
