A picture of my spare badge at last

Sorry it has taken me so long to find and photograph this. It is hat badge size, a theatre-made casting but guaranteed original, have had it for years. As you can see, there is a break in the trident and it has been re-lugged. Because of the condition you can have it for 30 pounds postpaid from Australia. |

Thanks |

hi jack
these are one of the hardest badges to know if good or not. i personally think most of these badges are duds, but having said that, i do feel that there is more chance of a cast badge like kingsleys and those rough looking badges that mick showed a few posts back as being genuine. i think most of these badges were sand cast and roughly made. but who knows. the 1970-80s had the market flooded with these badges. every army disposal store had them, probably sourced from pakistan. if you compare the numbers available of this badge to say the other unofficial/semi official badges say the 6th LHR then there are far to many 13th around good luck bc |

i'm not questioning what people are saying here but when you say "Guaranteed genuine" or "verified genuine" or "with provenance", then please tell us HOW.
these duds are at least 40+yrs old. bc |

Fakes have appeared on the market recently that have had a TIPTAFT makers mark that were fake. Those Dancing Devil badges are basically worthless due to the amount of fakes that have been produced. Its unfortunate. Thanks, Jas |

The regiment served on the Western Front (after Gallipoli) as divisional cavalry and it makes sense to me that if they needed badges they would get them from the UK. Prior to that they were in Egypt and Gallipoli so to me the sand cast badges would have been the earlier versions. I've also never seen a Dancing Devil badge with any sort of maker's mark. Mick
