Hi Jack
These items turn up occasionally at militaria fairs over here and I've also seen them on e-bay.
The Scinde Camel Corps only existed for about ten years, 1843-1853. It's "descendents" were various regiments in the Indian and then post 1947 Pakistan Army.
I don't think anyone knows for sure exactly what they are but I think it's safe to assume they are not contemporary to the SCC.
Some say they are restrikes from a die used to produce an original item. If so, they may have been produced by the Fox Co (of restrike glengarry badge "fame") in the early 1900's. Others say they are merely a fantasy item.
Sorry I can't be more precise!
David
