Hello
I've had this for a while and have always question marked it as I know these badges are faked a lot, your expertise will be appreciated,

Thank you

Chris

Not one that I would buy, should have jewels in the coronet and a hairy beast.

Thank you for your quick reply, so a possible duff, thought so.
It was in a tin of badges I got about 30 years ago in a junk shop for £5, there were some good Corps badges and a nice 15/19th Hussars KC, and a few obvious restrikes, over all a good buy though.

Cheers
Chris
