Default Unofficial Plastic 2nd/14th Light Horse (Queensland Mounted Infantry) hat badge

Here's a rare badge!

A plastic 2nd/14th Light Horse (Queensland Mounted Infantry) hat badge made up as a bush badge for 3 Troop, 'A' Squadron, 2/14 LHR - circa early 1990s.

Probably only 20 or so in existence and made by a member of the troop.

Worn on a kepi when on exercise.

Enjoy!

Mick

A very hard to find badge given the small quantities produced.

That is something that could be reproduced tomorrow on a 3D printer I don't think I would invest more than $10 on one of those badges.

I dare say you probably won't find another one to invest $10 on.

Most would be with the former troop members as there would only have been 25 or so made.

Well my humble opinion only, it is just a piece of plastic, more of a novelty item than a rare badge but each to their own I guess. Probably of more value to a member who wore it than on the collectors market.
