Default Light Horse badge question

Gents,

In his book, Jeff Cossum states that the 23rd Light Horse (Barossa Light Horse) and the 24th Light Horse (Gwydir Light Horse) also come in whitemetal.

Have any of you ever come across the existence of these badges in WM?

Also what about the 2nd Armoured Car Regiment badge? Jeff Cossum also states that brass copies exist but I have never seen one.

Has anyone ever come across one?

Regards,

Mick

Never seen them in white metal either. I think you need to contact the author and check.

Cheers
Jim

Thanks guys.

Yeah - I might have to try and contact Jeff.

I've spoken to a lot of collectors and none have been able to confirm the existence of these badge variations.
