Also very interesting in that his farrier badge is worn quite low with the flag actually protruding into it.

Not only the lugs, but one look at both the obverse and reverse details would red flag this badge to me.

The MGC is a collar badge. Sometimes OSD badges did not get a dark bronzing finish to them for some reason. The solid backed RAMC is an officer OSD collar, the other stamped one is an OR collar.

Well, they look like collars with those lugs, but these could also have been pressed into service on the cap as well since they are facing the correct way.

The Warwickshire Yeomanry badges might not be collars either. The caps were basically the same size as the collars. Would need to see them closer and with the reverses shown.

Again another badge the likes of which I have never seen before. When it comes to certain Scottish TR badges such this, one cannot be sure. It is cast in the same manor as so many clan badges of the...

That 9 HLI is nothing like I have ever seen. The lettering on the scrolls is not correct, so it is not cast from a genuine strike as most bazaar made badges were. I sort of like it in a way, but I...

Is that Lonsdale a fake or a polished off OSD collar badge? Looks like it might be the later to my eye.

RIF as mentioned. Whatever these badges were, that one looks to be bad. I have one and it is a much cleaner strike with old lugs.

I am not sure that is an officer badge, whatever it is. The grenade was not gilded and the sphinx not silvered by appearances.

Good eye Terry. Technically, they were supposed to be square, but obviously not worn as such, post war at any rate.

From these photos, they all look to be genuine in my opinion. The RE appears to have been silver plated, which is of course out of the norm. The Black Watch appears to have one replaced lug, not...

Here is the die struck example of the fake wide antlers with the same nick on the circlet.
Which leads to the question if any wide antler versions are genuine?

The RWF OSD collars were likewise much larger than the basic grenades of the ORs.
I think I see a plastic RE in there? The Lincolns would need to be seen closer with the reverse to be sure.
