These GMGB badges are too well copied to be totally sure, though usually the slider is placed to the rear base of the 12 o'clock round- top of outer circle. Crown orb is positioned center of Juncta which is good. That's as far as I can go. Regards, Paul.

Apparently yes according to an article that I just read. And the one I posted is a fake so I've been informed by a very experienced friend of mine.

Thanks Phil. I've found a good one so am saving up for it. These on eBay are rubbish, expensive rubbish, but confirmed rubbish, so they're staying there. All the best

Agreed not quite right , slider should be positioned lower as stated as far as I’m aware, the other one they have for sale looks better

Yikes! That Seller’s 22nd Dragoons has clearly had the Roman numerals drilled to make a fake badge voided like the originals. Shocking piece!

Cheers……John
