Hi Everyone,

I have two Gurkha Badges that I'm trying to confirm if they're real, and if possible, date them.

3rd Queen Alexandra's Own Gurkha Rifles
Based off the Regiment's history it's between 1908 and 1947. Other examples that I've seen on the forum, both deemed as real and fake, seem to have characteristics that this one does not:

-Voiding (well, what looks like drilled out holes) in the coronet
-A different design to the "3", others seen seem to have leaves inside it.
-Thick rectangular lugs
-Marks on the Kukris, maybe from the casting rather than wear/tear?

7th (Duke of Edinburgh's Own) Gurkha Rifles
I can't find much on the solid cypher version of this, specifically when it was from. However as it's White Metal and not AA, I'm guessing it's an earlier design or something?

Thanks in advance, sorry if this is a simple one and I've just missed something.

Joe
