Thank you for the replies so far.

As for a short summary up and until now.

All badges so far seem to be period ww1/ww2 badges with some predating ww1 with the exception of:

Grenadier Guards which seems to be post-ww2.

Alex questions Royal Fusiliers being good. Can someone please confirm or deny this. Thanks!

The grenade in post 24 is Victorian.
Andy

Not Royal Fusiliers, Royal Scots Fusiliers in post #33. I would like a second opinion but I would pass on it. I don't like the lugs or the colour.

Yes you are correct: ROYAL SCOTS FUSILIERS - anyone to confirm or deny Alex his doubts? Much appreciated.

I would not necessarily think it was not original, the lower lug is often found affixed a little lower, but, I would perhaps seek a more pleasing example.

Gaunt made a considerable number of these, although, there are not always marked, as a medal collector, I have encountered odd ones in good quite comprehensive groups for both regular pre and Korea period as well as National Service men, so I assume made in the 1940's and still being issued into the 1950's
So I would just buy a marked example of one of those if I were you.

Gentlemen,

I just looked through this thread again and it seems that the opinions expressed in it make it possible to conclude that all badges (including the Royal Scots Fusiliers???) shown here are original pre-1946 badges although there is some unclearity as to the age of the Grenadier Guards badge (see pics). If I have understood correctly some seem to think this is a post-1945 badge while others believe it to be Victorian.

Please be so kind as to confirm all badges are original and if possible be so kind as to determine whether the Grenadier Guards badge is either Victorian or post-1945. THANK YOU!

Cheers, Tom

Its Victorian.
Andy

Thank you Andy!

The Grenadiers badge is certainly an original example and worn into King Edward's reign being issued until the stock expired, I would be pleased with it if I were you.
The Scots Fusiliers, I would think, from the photographs, original, although, you could replace it if you are unhappy.

The Lancs Fusiliers looks ground dug. The Inniskilling Fusiliers has the flag facing right, so it is more likely ww2 than ww1 (look for a flag facing left).

Thank Phil - I collect ww1 and ww2 so the fact of which way the flag is blowing is not so important in this case. Happy with a ww2 era example.

I would say it can only be original, thankfully, they are not copied anything like the badge shown in post twenty nine.
