Default HMGC, did they exist?

Hello,

Is there a difference between HBMGC and HMGC units? Can anyone tell me if these units were different branches of the MGC or if HMGC was an actual unit?

I have a pair of shoulder titles with H above MGC, only rediscovered the other day along with other titles and cap badges.

Thanks
Tony

Thanks for the reply Simon.

Are the titles copied as often as cap badges and is it easy to tell the difference between good and bad ones?

Tony,

Your titles look 100% original; as for fakes, probably, but I havent seen any.

Others may contribute to say they have though.

regards
