Default SA AHT...???

Hi Gents,

The badge on the link below is being offered for sale as .. 'South African Auxiliary Horse Train'.

I have (and cannot find) no reference for this unit/badge, so contacted the seller who also () has no reference (or explanation) as this designation.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/311744811877?ul_noapp=true

Is this correct and is it a rare badge?

Did he just guess and make it up?

Or is it something else?

Any thoughts gents?

Cheerio,

Roy
