Shield cover appliques

[Andrew Brozyna]

I have a question about who made these appliques. I read in one of her JRMES shield cover articles (not sure which) that they were probably made in one workshop and distributed across the empire. (As opposed to a unit making it's own.) Does anyone have any more info on that? What time period was this? Did the workshop make the whole cover, or just the decoration? Did this sort of centralized manufacturing occur for other equipment? <p></p><i></i>
