13th Aust Light Horse "Dancing Devil"
Hi Andy
Your badge looks good to me and the same as one that l have, the large oval lugs are in the right place etc. Jeff Cossum in his Aust'n Army Badges Part 2, 1900 to 1930 lists it as Unofficial A. I. F. 1912 - 1918 (C180). There must have been a lot made as they do turn up all the time at Militeria fairs.
Any other official 1912 - 1918 Light horse badges sell for many hundreds of Aussie Dollars where as the Dancing Devils do not.
I hope that this helps
Regards
Phil
