The Middlesex badge is an officers badge. The side slider is in fact one of a pair of blades or tangs.

Good evening Les.

As Matti says, Middlesex is an Officer's badge, and I'll add that it's good 'un.

Regards
Brian

Hi
Not sure if the RFC is good or not, but the slidered versions are quite unusual, so if it's good it'll be quite rare.
Cheers,
Alex

The camerons looks good to me. Is the cross nice and smooth? The copies seem to be a bit rough and unpolished looking. Sometimes they almost appear to have long thin lines running down them, which is not a good sign.
