So Rob, if your badges came from the 1960's then there is a very good chance that they are good.

Anodised Aluminium: 'The 'No Bull' Cap Badge of the British Army covers this topic in depth in various chapters of the book especially Chapter 7: Veritical Shanks, Chapter 15: Fakes and Reproductions and Chapter 21: The Badges.

Regards
