As far as I know, the only countries with a Survey Corps were Australia and Russia. And these are definitely not Russian!

Engineers? Artillery? Medical??
These look like artillery or engineer collar badges, but they all have a cross on them. I'm assuming they're British. Are they badges of a medical branch within that corps? I'd be most grateful for...

There's an RMC badge listed by the same seller that I thought looked OK, but having now seen the other items offered by this seller, I think I'll give it a miss.

Dodgy French seller?
A French seller with zero feedback has posted a few dodgy-looking badges, which unfortunately already have a few bids.
The worst is the large Engineers hat badge, item 281467932327.

I'd agree with Graham - a serviette ring from an Officers' Mess. It's customary for a departing officer to present a gift to the Mess on being posted out - this was possibly such a gift.

I was (fortunately) outbid on an RMC cap badge from this seller. Apart from the lugs being a bit rough, it looked genuine enough to sell for over $50. It even had "STOKES MELB" stamped on the back.

My concern is with the positioning of the lugs. Genuine badges made using proper jigs will have the lugs fixed symmetrically, whereas restrikes done by hand usually have misaligned lugs.
