Interestingly, the manufacturing jeweller that designed the 29th badge was charged under the "Patent Designs and Trade Marks Act 1911" due to putting dodgy Rd numbers on the back of the badge. (The 859 is correct and the 860 is not)

I think you meant 959 is correct and not 859. (Same goes for the spurious 860/960 RD#)
