A senior collector just warned me about this lot on eBay. The sikh badges are fake..The numerals are all wrong..Some others are good though

There is a Burma Rifles badge amongst them but as they are all badly photographed I cannot tell if it is a good one.

Yes Simon, some badges maybe good, but bad photo so hard to tell. I liked the 15 Madras but has a shiny, chrome look so don't know. I expect some of these will come up piecemeal on eBay again.

Even the Romans would see that those Sikh badges are idiotic.

The price strikes me as either optimistic in the extreme or idiotic as well. One would hope that anybody with that kind of money to spend on badges would do enough research to realize that these are bad'uns.

The screen shot shows that there were 14 bids taking the price to £330. I have no idea what the final figure was.
