AA Numbering TEST

Test Page or pages for a new (to the Web Site) Numbering chapter for AA badges. In general terms the numbering system is a nightmare to get to grips with and far from an exact science It would appear that the badges were issued from two different locations, as some numbers in batches of 1,000 would be issued in under a months, whereas the next batch of 1,00 over several years. This would also indicate why some numbers were issued later than earlier ones. I have come across many anomilies, so caution is advised.
