The KLR badge that Peter highlights is a very well known copy. It appears in bi-metal, reverse metals, WM, GM, Bronze etc etc etc.
The only "all brass" KLR badge of this type is a 5th Bn badge with it's blackening worn off - which this isn't !!!

You do get a certain admiration for some sellers imagination, used to great effect in their listings:

Having said that, I would certainly give 99p for it ! If the seller correctly identified this as a 1878 - 1881 ORs "Universal" helmet plate, plus a Gloucester back badge I am sure he would get some decent bids.

It gets worse ( if that is possible ):
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RARE-WW1-t...item1c33e0d844 Most genuine Kings badges of whatever type have a smooth finish to the body of the horse. P.B.

At least some of the sellers are not stating flat out - lots of "?" being used.
Perhaps we ought to think about a way of helping people identify the good sellers via some sort of recognition of acceptance against a standard?? Andy

Reasons for joining the Forum: to find out more about the history, design and development of cap badges. Monetary value comes second at best.
This worldwide obsession with money will hopefully be seen as a sign of the times in the (near) future. Rgds, Thomas (and Silverwash).

Alan,
Yes some one has done well on both lots, now where can I find some St.Andrews and some sliders ??????????????? Of course it also means that someone ( or more than one person ) appears to have paid well over the odds P.B.

You could do a Ph.D. on what people pay for items on E bay and why they sometimes appear to pay well over the odds.
P.B.
