As far I know the badge of Dominica was used on blue ensign
before 1890, and probably also on red ensign
Badge: HMS Magnificent in the fortress of Cabrits in Saint
Ruperts Bay, Porstmouth. Later. c. 1958 the same badge but in
form of shield was used on blue ensign. It was supressed on 9
November 1965 when the arms, granted 21 July 1961 were added to
the flag. Seems that the flag was used always without white
circle, but seems that the first idea was with white circle.

David Prothero sent me a scan of the Badge of Dominica. The
badge appeared on a blue ensign between the years 1955-1965 and
is described above. The badge occupied an imaginary circle whose
diameter was 4/9 the hoist width on the British blue ensign. The
badge also appeared on the Leeward islands badge.

Here's the smaller version of Dominica's defacement. This one
would fit into a 4/9 circle. I believe this is what would have
been used although.
