A few badges and wondering if I could get some opinions on them - originals vs copies

The two VI Dragoon Guards badges look good to me.
Are there any small vent holes behind the slider of the 7QOH badge?
Cheers,
Alex

The 7th H and QVC 6th DG are fakes. Household Bn, 1st LG and KC 6th DG are fine.

Thanks people, about where I thought

Have ended up with 200 British badges from an old collection, some real good, some OK and some (many) obvious fakes

The Household is great and a genuine one will go for £40-60.

I too don't like the QVC DG as the real badges were very good quality.

Agreed, certainly just from the photographs, they should still be very easy to find these days, but, the majority being sold as original are not.

I do wonder how many of these particular QVC 6DG have ended up in collections over the years, they were very deliberately done to deceive.
