The badge on the right is a genuine Royal Dragoons collar badge. The one on the left is very controversial. It is for the Royal Irish Fusiliers, but it's purpose is as yet unconfirmed. There is also some concern as to it's originality altogether.
I have one as well. I keep it as there is nothing definite regarding it, either way. CB
