Various Burma Police and Burma Rifles badges

[High Wood]

These were sold on Ebay yesterday and when I first saw them last week I had my doubts about their authenticity. They fetched silly prices but, as I didn't bid on them, this is not a case of sour grapes.

I would welcome any thoughts as to the quality of these badges.

Firstly, this Rangoon Police pagri badge. I find it very hard to believe that any Colonial Police Force would issue a badge of this quality, even as a prize in a Christmas cracker. It sold for £42.96
