The point made about Cox is a good one but the book does have several fakes and copies in it so I would be wary of it.
The badge in post 18 I would regard as suspect. It is an exact match to a well known faker's products as is the one shown on ebay. I used to have one idetical to it with JR Gaunt.London on it.
The regular economy one shown earlier I would say is genuine. The solid tail is a god sign. However I have yet to see an economy TF badges that I like. Gaylor's list is so flawed as to be worthless as an authoritative source. Bearing in mind that economy abdges came into being in 1916 and TF badges ceased to be made in 1917 does make this a very short lived badge. Personally I do not believe a TA leicestershires economy was produced.
