I understand all that is being said about purchasing of the QC b/m badge, from PRI for instance. I have no problem with that at all.
What I find hard to reconcile is that K&K (although also human like the rest of us and therefore prone to the occasional slip, nevertheless I value their knowledge) make no reference to this state of affairs and have included said badge in their 'bible' just after the KC version and precisely before the QC a/a one, as if there was nothing untoward. In fact, it was given recognition by being indexed as Fig.1911. Tellingly, immediately after this, K&K mentions "ALSO anodised" (my emphasis). This would imply that the a/a version was identical to and superseded a previous pattern, i.e. QC b/m.
Can you please point me to the evidence showing that the a/a version was directly preceded by the KC b/m version? I am asking for the sake of research.

I'm not sure if this is a "wind-up" or not, either way I give up!!!
