Hi All,
I am thinking that these two badges are probably okay, and wouldn't be bad additions to my miniscule gun badge collection. They're both quite cheap, which does bother me a bit, what do you think?

Both look fine to me. The one with lugs and slider is a smaller, post war beret badge.

Like Paul says, but don’t pay more than a fiver each. Regards

Yes, many thanks, chaps, they are about that, Simon, free postage, as well, I don't intend to bid any more for them. I do look at quite a few, should I say, more upmarket, gun badges, but I'm rather unsure what I ought to pay for these. I'll attach a couple of pics of one badge that I've looked at recently, should I pay £35 for this?

Is it gilding metal?

Whose selling it?

Looks like Andy Plewa's photography.

Oh Dear! I won't be getting that one then, it was stated to be gilding metal, and, I take it, worth £35! I'm just trying to get a feel for the market prices of these things.
