Default A mixed bag

I bought these this morning.

The Athletes Volunteers is much the same as one I already have and I will assume it is a restrike.

The Devonshire Regiment is the first cast one I have found and appears to have some age.

The other four I hope are good, but would value any other opinions.

Rob.

The Canadian Forestry Corps and the Canadian Armoured Corps look fine. The CFC badges are found in different strikings, and this rather poor striking is the commonly found pattern.

Thanks Bill,

I've always liked the Forestry Corps badge, not sure why, maybe its all the years I've worked in sawmills or then again it could be the tree bringing out the hippy in me Rob.

Hi,

The Volunteer Artillery badge looks good to me. The cast Devonshire badge is only the second I have seen. The other one, I saw in hand, was much poorer in quality than yours.

Phil
