Default rifle brigade?
Opinions on this badge being genuine please.
What was it worn on, 71mm x 50mm.
What is the official description?
Ron.

Ron,
These are a mass produced fake I'm afraid.

I am even unsure if a real one ever existed, but not an expert on the RB.

regards

Hello Ron,
This badge has been a topic on the forum before, it's a copie of either a pouch or cross belt badge as far as I remember, never worn as a cap badge by the RB
