Default Royal Corps of Transport ?? "Bullion Badge"

Hello guys

As a former member of the RCT, I've been watching this Blazer Badge on ebay for over a year now, and still no one has bought one, "WHY"

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ROYAL-CORPS-TR...item230e275a16

Can you guys pick out the obvious problems, or shall I ???

1. K/C (GviR) he died in 1952
2. Q/C (EiiR) asended to throne in 1952
3. Royal Army Service Corps was still in existence during EiiR reign
4. Royal Corps of Transport formed in 1965, from the RASC's reorganisation
5. PRICE !! £13.99 wow that's a whopping price for an error/fake

Good try though, but alot of effort went into making this badge, can anyone give me a reasonable excuse as to why ???

I'm baffled, and confused as to making such a massive error

The real bullion badge costs less !!!!

What a crazy world we live in

Default RCT KC BADGE

Maybe he was hoping that King George V1 would stay alive until 1965 when this badge would then be ok to wear...........

Perhaps similar to one worn by the late Michael Jackson? Although his is QC?
