Default 4th LH collar & hat badges plus shoulder title

Are these badges hard to get and are the good repo's out there that you can get caught on ,any way of telling if good or bad?Also what is the going rate on these type of items ?



Thanks in advance.

In my opinion a set of 4th Light Horse hat and collars worn between 1930 - 1942 is certainly not worth the $1500 asking price on Australian eBay, see item number 331831316722.

About half that price is more realistic.

I think they look ok. All the copies of this badge I have seen have been cast and are easily spotted. This one is a nice example of an authentic badge.
