... i just think you need to present things like this in question format, rather than as fact; i.e. the thread might be better started as asking if there were "any differences in quality between ranks badges in the navy in WWII?"
You could then post your opinion, based on this badge, etc. It would then seem more open, like you were looking for info to exchange; i.e. the point of this forum.
But when you present it as fact, it becomes a bit more confrontational, sort of like" who does thins guy think he is..."
I would never go into the medals or orders section and present a fact based on a medal I got in; rather I would ask those who know more about orders/medals than I do for their opinion and see what they come up with.
