Default 6th Londons

Hi all, I bought a couple of badges off eBay recently, both original. The vendor through in another cap badge for free to the 6th London's. It appears genuine to me. The query I have is that it appears on dealers lists at £50. Is it a rare badge? If so why?
Cheers
John

It looks genuine to me. A generous gift.

I have had a dealer who threw in an extra or two, and it really makes for a good feeling and a great desire to continue doing business with them! When ever I sell something I try to always throw in some extra bit. Funny though, how many people never acknowledge it.

A very nice gift.

That is very much a dealers price. They are not that rare, certainly by London Regiment standards. In the last year I’ve had 4 or 5 of these off eBay all under £20.

A fair ‘retail’ price for one I think would be £30-40 ballpark.
