STM,
Have to agree with you about the 5L. The brass 9L has been produced by the usual ebay crooks with and without the rods.
Further to Luke's comments, I also have a Black Watch badge with the same sphinx die flaw in a yellow brass. It has the same flaw as shown in BW badge in Wilkinson's book so is usually regarded as a 'safe' pre-war design. It is actually a WW1 Canadian badge,
