Default WW1 Economy Issue

Hi All,

I have some badges I would like the Forum to have a look at. I hope the detailed pictures will make this an easier process.

Of late, I have come to question a dozen or so badges I purchased some years ago. In light of discovering several dubious badges from the same source, I would like to confirm (or not) if these are good. I will post them over the next few days.

First up are 4 WW1 Economy badges:

I have compared them to examples here, and these ate my concerns/questions:

Suffolk: Seems OK to me after looking at examples in the Albums.
Queens: Most of the examples I see here have no void between the tail and body. Is this a bad sign or simply a maker variation? I note there was a thread a couple of years ago where Andy posted a variation with the void, so hoping it is a variation.
Devonshire: Pointy star version, 5-petal rose, straight banner makes me think this is OK
Middlesex: Nothing, to me, is obviously wrong here.

Any comments or views, greatly appreciated.

Cheers, Tim
