I would strongly suggest if you buy a copy of Gaylor that you do not choose a later edition ‘edited’ by Peter Taylor as he re-photographed the plates and included numerous fake badges.
My suggestion is buy a 1st or 2nd edition. They pop up on all the usual online secondhand bookstores and eBay for less than the price of the booklet you found on eBay.
If you are looking to start collecting badges then Gaylor in my opinion is an excellent first book. Beware however of the double scroll 19th Hussars pagri badge - it’s a fake he had made!
