Default RAMC VC cap badge and KC vols. cap badge

Hello,
i just have added these two badges to my small corps-collection.
1) a victorian RAMC cap badge, die-struck from brass/gilding metal with two lugs. Strucked in very good quality.
2) a RAMC KC cap badge in white metal with the small scroll VOLS at the base of the rod (1902-1908 ?).
Also die-struck, this badge has a die flaw or is damaged, some of the pearls on the outer edge of the crown are missing. Also the crown is very small or damaged. Could it be a bad quality fake or restrike ?

Any comments about the two badges are welcome,

TIF and kind regards
Markus

Both badges original. KC Vol crown looks like it was damaged at some point in its life.
