Royal Lancers nickel and enamel motto
Saw this on eBay as an other ranks beret badge. Pretty sure it is a dud or am I wrong?.

Well the badge shown is the cap badge not the beret badge.
The beret badge has a cloth backing and the Motto part in metal. |

It looks like Royal Lancers - Other Ranks No1 Dress Cap Badge Finish Nickel Low Bake Pattern No 002568 Dated 30/05/19 NSN 8455-99-843-1127
For comparison here is my example which was obtained in the issue packet. Badges ordered through MOD contracts after 2012 should NOT show manufacturers details on the badge or the packaging. Tim

Many thanks Mick, Tim, Mike and John. I greatly appreciate your help. I hadn't realised they also have a metal cap badge.
Warm regards Chris |
