Default Two Army pilots badges

Hello, I bought these badges a couple of years ago. They both pass the UV light test and no synthetic threads. I would appreciate opinions, good or bad.

I think the bullion is OK but the cloth a modern fake.

neither for me, the bullion with its off-centre jewels seems too poor to pass and the other is a fluffy copy

I quite like the bullion one but the other is indeed fake.
