I'm trying to decide on the purchase of a formation badge for the 23d Indian Division. The badge is a red cock on a yellow circle background. However, the one I'm interested in (not that there are alot around for sale), the cock is quite diffrent than I have a picture of (From the Osprey The British Army in the Far East 1941-45 and in Coles book). Does anyone have one they can forward a photo of? I suspect that there were variations in the manufacture of these, but I want to have some confidence that the money spent is going toward an actual issue one.

Thanks, that your photo is a big help. the one I'm considering is a mirror image, and has a black eye. Other than that, it is very similar.
