G'day Chay
What you have here is the unofficial WW1 theatre made Australian 13th Light Horse hat badge, there are also matching collars. Its difficult to say if yours is a good one or not, however just to let you know that they have been reproduced many times over, over many years. That said however the back looks to be ok to me. Regards Phil. |

G'day Phil,
Thank you! I did see only one thread here on these but the photos are not clear really, I would like to see what the reproduction looks like, then I took these photos there is a slight glare on the front around the legs. Interesting that these were theatre made, the base metal looks to have a red colour to it the same colour as what the lugs and sliders are made from on sand cast badges from Egypt? Kind regards Chay |

Hi Mick,
Thank you for your reply, here is a WW1 Tip taf, the base metal looks different in colour! I’m not sure what other badges they made? Kind regards Chay |
