Default Lothian and Borders Warrant badge/wallet?

While looking up different police force warrant badges/wallets, I have come across this Lothian and Borders one several times. But is it genuine? I ask because on one particular site the wallet and badge is shown, with the author stating 'a reliable source' told them that the CID may used them in the 90's, but then goes on to say they knew 'a couple of Gents from England' who had bought similar items from Jeeves, which they used to sell on ebay, which thus hinting the badge etc could be fake.
I can't see Jeeves knocking out false Police id to 'a couple of gents' myself, They (Jeeves) usually deal with forces only. So I think the badge etc is genuine, unless made as film props? But I don't think they were.
All views welcome.
