Default Antiques fair 'job-lots'

I’ve just purchased a ‘job-lot’ of badges, mainly to get the AA BSAP shown, but I would very much welcome opinions as to the authenticity of the remainder as military badges aren’t my area. I’m fairly happy with the Dorsetshire, Worcestershire, ATS and RA/RE collar, but less so with those in the second photo: viz. RM, Irish Guards, Pay Corps, DCLI and Kent. Regardless of the outcome I’m happy that I got value for money - unless the BSAP is duff - in which case I won’t be.











Regarding the Worcestershire badge: it looks a little fancy to be an O/Rs badge, but not of officer quality (though it has a bit of weight to it), might it be for SNCOs or WOs?

Many thanks

Graham

Graham,
the Worcesters is almost certainly a "Birmingham Mint" badge - Type "Birmingham Mint" into either the Search or All Albums toolbar above for more info!

Hi Andy

Thank you for your reply, I recall this set being advertised some years ago - interesting that people are collecting them in their own right now.

Regards

Graham
