Hello Brian,
I think, again, just like your Natal Hussars, you have been very fortunate to find those in South Africa, they only seldom turn up here these days and when they do, high prices are often sought.
Regards Frank

You are so right, real British quality is hard to beat. The later SA cross belt fire gilt badges for the SAAF, Artillery and General Service versions are on a par with these.
Yes, when one compares these with the utter rubbish produced locally of late, it is sad, apart from one or two privately made examples. First City as an example had some very nice badges made a few years back by a company in Durban.
