Gordons a/a sealed pattern

[lettman]

The medal auction house Dix Noonan Webb has listed a set of sealed pattern badges, including one to the Gordons (BY DAND) dated 3/3/66. It's countersigned by Smith & Wright and Ludlow in in 1967. I seem to remember there was some debate on the forum about the Gordons a/a badge, but what exactly the problem was eludes me. Thought I'd point this out just in case it's of interest.

From what I recall discussion was as to the variation being an issue badge, some thought not, although one forum member stated that while he was in the army he'd seen the badge in stores.

It was to do with "BYDAND" and "BY DAND"

Yes, the "BY DAND" variation.
I have a note of the forum member's comments filed with the badge, just not sure of the name without checking.
