I picked these two up at the local boot sate today. I am not sure about them though.

Sorry Andy, don't like either of them. The 3rd Hussars, if an OSD would have been struck in one piece, this one appears to be an ORs style 2 piece badge which has been bronzed and the slider replaced with blades. The other one (which if I remember correctly is a VTC bagde) is a very commonly encountered copy, not noramlly found in bronze or with blades. It just doesn't look right and the blades appear way too crude, just my opinion of course.
