I would add David Smith’s ‘British Army Badges’, Andy2747 (eBay) and Bosley’s Military Badge Auctions & Buywyze site to that list.

However, I would temper all recommendations with advice to judge each and every badge on its own individual merits. Most of the sites mentioned do at a glance have a few known repros on them. That’s not to suggest any dishonesty, rather dealers are human too and can make mistakes. Even Bosley’s - who are widely regarded as the leading auction house in the hobby - have had several howlers.

My recommendation is before buying research the badge on the forum to learn good from bad. And if there isn’t a thread on it just ask, chances are someone on here will know.
