Default Opinions please on badges
Hey
So these badges I have no idea if they're original or not they are heavy and seem well made and the back of them have pins to attach pieces together.would a fake badge have these ?
Thanks for any opinions and they aren't mines and the owner might sell them at some time

They are not original.

Probably best to post them in the British section, not the South African!
Cheers,
Alex

Default Birmingham Mint - The Great British Regiments
Everything you need to know about the Birmingham Mint 'Great British Regiments' set can be found in my album https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo...hp?albumid=767

These badges can sell on eBay for £3-£5 if correctly described. More if not!
