Immediate duffers are the QVC KRRC which was pierced and not solid. The MFP is a fantasy badge.

The 1st Hants RGA Vols is a modern fake.

The RA Militia badge has been created by fraudulantly altering a WW1 1917 issue, strengthened crown hairpin slider economy badge which didnt exist until 9 years after the Militia was redesignated the Special Reserve and the cap badge ceased to be worn, so thats another fake, sorry.

regards

The KOSB badge is at best a 1970's copy of a victorian officers badge, and never officially issued in this form.
