The Wlikinson edition that I am taking reference from is the 1973 edition..... so in view of the re-strikes that Gaunt made (c1970) would have been in early production?...... is it not safe to assume that "Pattern 1" (fig: 187 page 40) is a good badge? And that Wilkinson would have had the "Knowledge" to now what had been faked at the time?

What I would like to see, is a period photo of 14th (FFY) Btn soldiers wearing the "Thane" (whatever metal) in the head dress........ that would utterly convince me that the "Battalion" wore the badge (beit in working dress or regimental).
