Mike:
Thanks for the points. Another question is about the line at the top of the shield. In the early (CEF or earlier) the flat line at the top of the shield does not extend beyond the edges of the shield. In later badges it extends beyond the edges of the shield to make a pointed overhang. I think this changed back in modern issue badges but again I do not know what era these changes took place. As always it would take a few years to cycle through existing supply to get all of the badges changed over. I expect not a huge priority when you are in the midst of fighting a war.
