Hi, I would be grateful for the forums opinion on this small group of badges recently acquired. I suspect re-strikes and possible fakes as they look in very clean condition with little sign of age.
If a little too obvious to more experienced forums members I apologise as I am very new to this collecting field.
Thanks, Lee

I would say bottom right is questionable, the rest look OK. But wait for other opinions.

cheers

Simon.

Lee,
I would agree with Simon, the first three I would be happy with. The second RASC is a GvR cyphered harder to find than the first badge ie GviR.
Cheers Tony.

I agree too, I don't like the bottom right badge either. I would be very happy with the other three.

I don't like the cannon detail or the slider on that 2nd AOC badge.

Regards,

Phil
