Default Some badges

Hi no camera for a while so thought you may like to see recent finds, the 1st 6 all from same bloke was his Dad,s who was Engineers, your thoughts appreciated. this little grouping came from another guy interested in R.S. (white-metal) would this be correct? Bottom C.E. ? any suggestions? Your thoughts on This next grouping the Canadian 48th would this be an economy or right for period? The resBorder.s with Q/C is this a common badge? and last the retrikers dream has been a metal-detector find! notice the 2.5 different to those on restrike badges or a variant on a real badge? cheers billy

Helllo billy, your Canadian 48th Highlanders seems to be OK. It's not an "economy"badge. It was worn during the pre-WW2 period and the same pattern,in white metal, was worn ca 1938 to today.Check the "current project" in the upper right corne and in the Canadian post 1920 and then M-76.
