Hi all,

Would anyone be able to advise if these badges are genuine WW1 / WW2 period locally made / sandcast badges?

They are:1) Leeds Rifles badge and 2) Sussex Regiment badges.

Both are made of brass and are solid / thick metal, although the definition is somewhat crude. It could be argued they appear to be too well made to be fakes, though one could also take the opposite view that they are in fact rough / poor copies.

Any advice / guidance as to whether these are genuine or not would be much appreciated.

Best regards
