Default Officers RE collar badge
Hello! I am looking for a gilt officer RE collar badge to complete the RE display I made...and I found this one..

And this one (it suposse to be a WWI design...but I don't know if that is correct)

So what do you think about that two badges please? I am near to complete a RE display with all the models from the victorian one to the actual!

Default RE collars
The top collar badge I think is other ranks, certainly not the quality of an officers gilt badge unless the gilt has been polished off.

The second badge is an other ranks RE collar badge.

The second badge is the Other Ranks pattern, sealed in 1924, and worn from 1926 onwards.

The top collar badge looks to be a "bazaar" made cast example. The lugs are not typical British make.
