You need to take much better photos and much closer, you may be disappointed with some of them though.

Best I can see the ones circled look good candidates for tall orb fakes. |

Thank you all for your reply's.
Yes there are a few fakes there, I knew that when I bought them. I paid £1,75 each for them, I just wanted a Artillery display as my father was in the RA, 1930 and in WW2. Photos taken from phone camera, so not good I know, should get a scanner but at my age!. Gerwyn |

Royal Malta Artillery is certainly genuine, as i haven't come across any RMA bi-metal fake ones as yet, or any other for that matter. Haven't had any cast ones in my hands, but i believe they would be period-made and genuine.
Nice display however |

Thank you, I enjoyed making it at the time, it dose have perspex front, that I cut to shape. Yes, it feels and looks a genuine one, I will try to post photos of them when I can. Gerwyn |

The malta and moving wheel are the only two that are good, the others are all the same fake badges.

I paid £1,75 for the fake ones, which I bought in 1989, it was at Southsea, and they were holding the 50th Anniversary of the second World War. There were many Veterans there, I shook their hands and thanked them. There were reenactors there, and stalls selling all sorts of military items, I picked mine up at one of them, the dealer did not sell them as genuine ones. I was happy with them, and they made a good display. Regards Gerwyn |
