My point was - as the suspicion is that the anodised 9L is 'fake' then to go to the lengths of 'faking' a collar is unusual and may tend to make us view the cap badge in a less spurious light.
So are we saying the 9L collars are good? If they are, then that would clear up that question.

Hi Bess,
If I remember the order of changing from non-AA to AA was first buttons followed by collars and then badges. This was not a 100% rule but can be viewed as a general approach to the transfer of one metal form to the other.
Although I ignored collars in my work on A/A cap badges I am currently going through the ADC meeting minutes from the original WODC meetings to current day. Problem is that I don't have a lot of time at the moment but I will look out for 9th and 12th Lancers items to see if collars were authorised.
Hopefully I have not already passed such information.
Regards,
Chris
