I think that these are correct. The cyclist has a replacement slider and looks like it had lugs? Or it looks like the slider has been taken off and it has been brooched and then fitted with a replacement slider. Opinions please and many thanks.

This badge also has one of the rifle barrels broken off.

Unfortunately yes. Do you think that these are all genuine though?

There is indeed something funny at the back - which makes one think of EW loops. However, the badge for the ACC was authorised on 10.03.1915 as Pattern 8225/1915 specifically with a vertical shank !

I like the ASC and Devons. ACC however I am not keen on.

When you look at the shape of the remnants it does look like brooch pin fittings as you may find on a sweetheart so really not sure.

Many thanks Alan and KLR. It's a tricky one I think.
