Personally I'd have to have it in hand, but it looks good to me (from the two originals I've handled), I know one guy who had copies made for a re-enactment group, and his copies are totally different at the rear (not seen this copied a lot before). If it's not too pricey I'd put my money where my mouth is.

Hello Hubbardston,

Welcome to the forum.

I'm afraid I will decline to comment on you Indian badge as I have no experience of these but will keep my fingers crossed that it is a good one.

But just through I would drop a comment out that the ME badge to it's left is not correct.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

Cheerio,

Roy

I agree with Roy, can't comment on the ILRS badge but the ME Cdo badge doesn't look like a real one I'm afraid

The ILRS is a nice original example...
