Default Three nice surprises

Took a chance on a small lot of British badges and insignia off ebay here in the US as the price was right ( as it turned out, VERY right). But due to the poor photos and lack of description, could not make these out with certainty.
All arrived and exceeded my expectations to say the least.
These were the three big surprises, the blank scroll N'hants the best one. The slider was clipped, which seems to have been common on these.
A nice S/G officer Cheshire and a plastic RWK made my day!

Life is certainly a wonderful thing, often full of surprises, I particularly like the Cheshire.
