The one with the hollow gun is WWI, the one with it looks a bit iffy to me. It could be an officers self purchace version though???

The two metal badges look ok from here. They where normally worn in hot climates, so they could be taken off to wash the uniform. I believe they are both from between the wars, the longer one being slightly older.

The other cloth badge would be WWII till the 60s.

A good rule of thumb is if the gun is horizontal it’s WWI and raised is pre WW2 onwards. But that doesn’t stand for bullion wired badges.

Hope this helps!

Mark.
