Default A couple of badges I’m not sure about

Hello,

Another car boot rummage has come up with a couple of badges I thought I’d take a chance on. One is a printed 51st Highland Div. formation patch and the other a RAF ground gunner badge. The 51st looks great from the front but the back I’m not sure about. The GG badge I can’t quite fix on as to its authenticity. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'd be happy that both are original.

I dont like the 51st Div back, on WWII 51st Div printed badges you should see ghost of the printing on the back.

Possibly 51st (Highland) Brigade, from 1994.

Thanks all.

I think you’re right on the 51st patch. The back is just off but I’m not conversant with the possible types out there.

So the ground gunner badge is SSW vintage?
