Tank corps with silver tank

British empire Militaria has some interesting tank corps badges where the badge is brass and the tank silver, on the back is gaunt makers details. I know this has been discussed previously and suggested i5 was a fantasy badge. However they do appear genuine, any thoughts?

I believe the bi-metal collar badges are worn on the officers’ No. 1 Dress uniform.

Prices seem high - for example, I have just purchased a hallmarked silver 1940 Gaunt officers cap badge from another dealer for half the price...

I agree with Steve an absolute plethora of fakes. He’s just listed a broken repro Home Guard Auxiliary Units for £400... just about sums up this dealer in my opinion.

He is Rod Floods son, so its a shame that he does this.

i have warned about his offerings before when quite a few fake Manchester Regiment badges appeared.

Didn’t know he was Rod Floods son.

But I still don't like the tank corps badges on his site.

What about his Tank Corps WW1 titles and MGC titles? Do they look ok to you?
