I was told by Jack Langley (long time Australian militaria dealer) that Tip Taft in the UK made some for them (which makes sense as they had a squadron in France) and that others were made in Egypt (I have also seen rough sand cast 13ALH collars that were made in Egypt and are legit).

The fake ones tend to lack detail, especially around the eyes and have been reproduced heavily over the years. I was told that even a Victorian Motorcycle gang wore copies (though I don't know how true this is).

That is amazing you should say that because tomorrow I was going to reveal what I thought to be the manufacturer! I have a Tiptaft badge that matches, it’s a devil badge too little black devils Canadian.
The paint is the same I need to double check the lugs !
