I agree. It's a badge that has been heavily copied over the years.

These were an unofficial badge made in Egypt or England and is a well known fact these were copied so providence is important . Any body got a original badge and would be able to show it??

So there is no visual evidence it’s just word of mouth? That is interesting you say England as a possibility of manufacturing because I too believe they were made there! The workmanship is beyond African quality and I think a match I will check tomorrow. |

I was told by Jack Langley (long time Australian militaria dealer) that Tip Taft in the UK made some for them (which makes sense as they had a squadron in France) and that others were made in Egypt (I have also seen rough sand cast 13ALH collars that were made in Egypt and are legit). The fake ones tend to lack detail, especially around the eyes and have been reproduced heavily over the years. I was told that even a Victorian Motorcycle gang wore copies (though I don't know how true this is). Mick
