The number of these badges that are out there is a joke. For a regiment whose personnel never numbered more than 350 the amount of LRDG badges around is ludicrous. I get the impression that each man on qualifying for the regiment was handed a bucketful of the things. The badge in the opening post is supposedly a theatre-cast badge like thousands of other regimental badges were and is surely open to doubt to it's authenticity just as all the others are. We are all aware of the amazing work of the LRDG but 950 quid for a theatre-cast badge is beyond ridiculous.
