These shoulder title did not sell at the first auction, so the dealer said he would sell me the few I wanted, but that never happened. Instead they were relisted and I had to buy both lots just to get the couple I wanted.

I will probably only keep the two No. 3 Commando, and the one good No. 10 Commando, and sell the rest of the good ones (guess I'll just trash the bad ones). Before I do so, I just want to verify that I have separated the good from the bad properly.

There are the good ones, correct?

As said before:

All the titles in post #16 are great WW2 badges, well done

#17 look all original but post war

#18 the No 2 and 10 titles, the HQ special service bn (twin daggers) and 2 Cdo (SS & dagger) are known reproductions. The special service Bde dagger patch is a good WW2 example. The ‘target badge’ is 6th Anti-Aircraft Division not Cdo related.

All in all not a bad haul
