Well it's real Griff but it depends on what you collect.
It may have been used by a A+SH soldier but again I think that eBay is currently flooded with so many different unit's subdued badges which have to be coming from dodgy dealers flogging off to the unsuspecting.
As I said, at War Office and MoD level no subdued badges were authorised for issue although there are some all black badges that always came that way such as the 2nd King Edward VII’s Own Gurkha Rifles (The Sirmoor Rifles).
At Regimental level some badges do seem to have been authorised although I have never seen any official documentation recording the fact.
Pays yer money and takes yer choice I suppose...
