Default A & S " brass economy" !

There's one out there on a dealer's list (Code: 54432) - noted as "unusual" !
It's 'reserved' so I hope the prospective buyer is thinking hard.

The longer I have an interest in military badges the more I think that sometimes we give to some of those dealers who sell badges, more credit than they possibly deserve for what we assume is the extent of their knowledge of the subject.

P.B.

The brass versions can often be found soldered to modern bugles probably from Pakistan.

Out and out fake and the dealer should be ashamed of himself but as Peter says setting up a website and selling some badges that you bought on ebay does not really give you any credence as an authority on the subject.
