Lots of these around, sadly, often sold as what they are though, hope you did not pay much for it!

Didn't buy it. I had my suspicions about it. The scroll didn't ring true

Very fortunate, was it being offered as original?

Original WW2 WWII The Leinster Regiment
I have a collection of real Hussars and the like and it just didn't ring out as real

Most genuine examples will have four sweat holes (two on the coronet and two on the title scroll) you would expect to pay 30-40 quid for one.

This one is spare following my recent badge sorting.

I’d let it go for £30 inc. UK signed-for postage if interested.

They are very common, where have you actually been looking, if ebay, the majority are completely spurious?
