Is there a definitive source of Sqdn badges on the net?

Are the 'location' associations, such as ‘Guernsey’s Own’, permanent?

Of personal interest, 214 Sqdn, was ‘214 Federated Malaya States Sqdn’, on the badge this was abbreviated to ‘214 FMS Sqdn’. When I ordered my blazer badge, because I described it as 214 FMS Sqdn, the manufacturer assumed that I wanted the badge with a King’s crown. They seemed to think the ‘FMS’ was dropped by 1952, but during my time on the Sqdn, between 1959 and 65, ‘FMS’ was always on the badge.
