Default King Royal Rifle Corps Opinions Welcome

I have the opinion that these two are fantasy the w/m is more unusual but its back shows it not to be right

I believe these to be ok

Don't know about the semi voided and unvoided and of course another militia fantasy

Don't know about this the larger badge is for scale Should have done the same for the third badge it's about 3/4 normal size

KK state the previous HP with the 60 removed was used 1881-83 this is not the previous badge but has a similar battle Honour layout and looks as if it has something removed from the horn

Titles look ok Neil,the KRRC is from the Brigade period. Although ,I have images of KRR( top and bottom joined) being worn during that period too.

Last image 1st item is a crossbelt plate with 2 screws missing by the look of it. The size will determine the date it was worn.
2nd item isnt a pouch belt,a pagri badge but horrid. Theres a few of these on E..y from a seller regularly mentioned on here. Not in a good way.
3rd item is a horrid cast crossbelt plate. It would be the last KRRC plate,"Busaco" on the left arm indicates that. I've never come across one like that. Not a fan of it either.
If 1 is the same size as 3 then 1 is early 20th century.

The bottom 2 are helmet plates to the KRRC Militia, cant comment as to authenticity.

Thanks for that Mike all three of the plates you have commented on are the same size as for where they came from no idea they were bought in a glazed frame along with the HPs , busby, two QVCs and a glengarry. I don't see much similarity between the slider of the pagri and others using HPCs
