Assume this is a fake, it looks new, however the font looks ok. Any help appreciated.
Thanks, John

Genuine in my belief, a collar I think.

The pattern to the front is a genuine one but it is a collar.

Thanks both. I did not realise that design was also used as a collar.
Thanks again,

John

Originally worn by the Officers with a matching cap badge in bz with blades. Aroudn amalgamtion the regiment dropped the ORs cap badge, and pre-war collar badges, based on the XIII and wreath and used the officers pattern.

Probably 1920 to 1929.
