A good question Steve, I hope you get some info from those in the know on this Forum. I'm trying to sort all of this out myself so every time someone posts details on these, characteristics to look for, attributes to differentiate replicas and fakes from originals, values, etc.; all of it sure helps. It's a minefield. I've read many historical posts but it still seems I've just skimmed the surface.

I'm particularly interested in hearing comments about the first one.

Steve,
Contact Gordon 'Ginge' Mather as he collects SF Insignia and may be a help to you. He has a website 28/LXI or something similar. Good luck. Ken

Interesting !! Thank you for your help folks , at least the middle one is definitely identified .
Wasn't sure about the other two due to the single thread in blade , thought it was a sign of an early patch...????
