Regarding the 9th Lancers, I have never been happy with the one I've got to be honest, it's got those rods across the lances, which I believe is a modern incarnation and has no place on an original (That goes for all the lancer badges - I believe any rod, if ever used, should only be to strengthen the crown when slidered and all the 5L with them are fake IMO).
Interesting you should both mention the King's, as I have never seen an all brass economy to the regiment that I would describe as original and I have seen both 1 piece and 2 piece badges in brass, both slidered and lugged N/S.
STM.
