Default Help Please - Three to double-check

Managed to acquire a job lot of about 20 badges last Saturday. I'm more than happy with most of them apart from three I have concerns about. They may be OK but 2nd & 3rd opinions are always very welcome.

Artists Rifles - Poor detail & definition

Kings Regiment - White horse seems poorly detailed in comparison to others I've seen.

14th/20th Hussars- Very small 'Firmin London' maker's mark? Haven't seen this before. The badge has obvious service wear but the mm worries me.

Artists Rifles - Detail of white horse lacking quality. Poor definition

Not a fan of the Artists, however the other two are 100% OK!

Thank you Andy. Two out of three ain't bad. The 'Artists' doesn't look good at all. My hopes were based on the slider which appeared to have some age and looked convincing.

Jim - The Artists Rifles will be returned to the seller. He's a good chap so no problem getting a refund or exchange.
