Default 3rd Dragoon Guards shoulder title

I'm fairly new at collecting so please forgive my ignorance.
I've just seen a website selling a 3rd Dragoon Guards shoulder title which it says is anodised aluminium.
Given that the 3DG's amalgamated in 1922, could it be genuine?
Many thanks.

No.

Possibly misdescribed though. Send a link.

Sorry, yes, a shoulder title was produced in the 1960's in AA. I was focused on cap badge.

It's a genuine item. These were the titles worn by the Carabiniers up till their amalgamation with the RSG. It should really be 3rd/6th DG .
