Default Staff Badge

Here are a few QC badges worn by full colonels and brigadiers that I hope are genuine:

Indeed, the badge from Pakistan is very poorly made. Here is a badge on a brigadier cap. I am always amazed to see how much British badges are copied.

Note the two crowns on the badge in the second post. This happens a lot in the manufacture of fake badges.
