Default Do these look ok?

Hello everyone.

I have got back into the collecting after a 20 year break. I have had these for many years and at the time i didn't realise that copies were so common.

Thoughts on if you think these might be dodgy.

The gold on the east lancashire is starting to come off.

Thanks.

Broady

Broady,

First one has a plated slider, so either is totally fake or somone has plated it. Cant be sure.

The second is fake.

the third is OK
