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.
To have a copy you need an original and there isnt one.

The evidence is there in black and white in the MM catalogue, two of us have pointed that out now, just change the record.
