The badge on the lower left is actually the lower half of a 15th Light Horse cap badge, it is supposed to represent the head of an antelope, with the horns and crown broken off.

I also noticed that the 51 SOO badge has a slider there is probably more questionable badges there. What is your thought on the Roo badge?

It looks good but I'm not up on how good forgeries have become. The obvious thing to look out for is the badges that have a slightly different 'roo', a copperish tone and, the big give away, a round "O" in ARMATOS" instead of the original oval one.

Attached is pic of an original on the left and the 'copperish' round O one on the right. I'll let you compare the details on the original to the ebay one.

Thanks for the heads-up, Ben. It wasn’t me.

Hanno I dropped out at $200.00. I actually expected it to go higher.
