Opinions on these 3 please-are any to a specific Battalion?Thanks

Left post 1926 and the other 2 are pre 1926. The third looks stained and is not a TF badge which would have been black,

[KLR]

The badge on the left is Pattern 10042/1926 - authorised in October 1926. It was made obsolete in March 1950.
The middle one is a fantasy / copy / counterfeit (of Pattern 4362/1896 authorised in January 1896 and made obsolete in October 1926 - there are at least 20 dfferent dies of this badge)
The third badge is indeed a Patt 1896 - it is made in two pieces which I assume WM and GM BUT all GM and WM were also (curiously) made in two pieces too - ie GM (5th Bn TF) and WM (7th Bn TF) - it looks genuine (though dirty) was made around 1915/16.


Sorry, the 1st one was worn by most battalions.
If genuine (unlikely) the second one was worn by most Bns (except most TF)
IF the last was Bm then as ditto - otherwise if GM = 5th and WM = 7th Bn
