Certainly the rarest of all the Long Range Patrol - Desert Group badges.
Yes this badge was sold recently here in New Zealand, for around $7000 NZd from memory, it has its own thread in the NZ section of this forum.
I have the black tankers beret that belonged to the same officer who supposedly privately purchased the badge.
