Hi gents, came across this recently and I looked for it in the galleries; but nothing. Is this a legit British regiment and is it worth adding to my collection...rare?

Thanks, that's interesting. Maybe worth going for at approximately 18 pound ($25 US). It would help fill out the London battalions in the collection.
Thanks again. Simon.

It's a copy. Genuine ones are usually about £125.
