Hi BC,
The Cheshire badge changed pattern in 1922, yours is all brass so may be economy 1916 issue, will have a closer look on my pc later. The Glosters regular battalions did not wear blackened badges, 4th Batt a rifle batt did but they wore a blank plinth Sphinx version of the 5th and 6th TF battalions. The Lincs is pre 1946. They look ok, crimp mark to South Lancs slider a good sign butcommon to have brazing holes on these, cheers Dean.
