G’day Ed

The bad news is the 2 collar dogs on the right are US Army Women’s Army Corps and the 2 on the left are US Army Corps of Engineers. Good news is they look okay.

Cheers
John

I would not be happy with the two cap badges!

Ed,
the large QC badge looks like a very common copy of what I think is a cross belt plate badge? (I'm a cap badge collector, but I'm sure someone will know).. The KC badge badge appears to be a cast copy of a possible original item?

This thread may help for the QC cross belt badge!

Thanks Andy, nice to have it comfirmed.
Tim I did have a look at that thread earlier so was expecting that they were duds. Never mind.
Thanks for the learned opinions. Ed
