Haha, I see my English wasn't too good. The "resent" post I mentioned was your post and it did give me some confidence that my badge would be good.
Thanks for taking time to help out.

How do these look?
I saw the resent post on the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire badge and noticed that the slider on my badge hangs down a little lower.
Thanks in advance.

I think I read a post that said the ENGLAND slider is a bad sign (maybe a replacement slider at best).

I don’t know much about the Canadian Postal Corps, but it would appear that each branch had their own offices. Everyone seems to be members of the RCAF.
Who would wear the Postal Corps badge?
