Hi Alan,
I did not intend to progress past mistakes in the classification of anodised items for the moment but this might be a good time to step in and obtain some more classification information to put away in my 'snippets' document for later.
Question, were KC RAOC badges in anodised aluminium ever issued or did they remain as experimental items only? Basically, were the first anodised badges issued to RAOC members Queens Crown?
If the KC items were never issued they may well fit nicely into a classification of 'officially commissioned but never issued' or even a classification of 'experimental'.
Regards
Chris
