Default A study in sheep

I recently bought this Cranleigh OTC badge. I am quite sure that it is genuine. However I show some sheep heads from similar OTC badges that I am 95% certain are wrong. Each sheep has a mouth resembling a bad Al Jonson.

The post 1920 sheep has been rustled as well. A known genuine one and a known fake.

Hello Alan,
This last is really too awful, it is more than just dodgy, even the most brief glance at the scroll and those letters, tells me that it can only be complete dross!

This is a very bad sheep. The lugs' placement are not correct either.

I have a Welsh Guards badge with a tiny letter on one of the leek fronds. I think that along with the "M" on this badge is the die sinker's initial possibly done on the QT.
