Default unsure badges

I have made an album and uploaded pictures of all the badges I haven't classified up to now. Would appreciate opinions if original, suspicious or fake.
All original badges will come up for sale on the forum first in the future

hope to get a few original badges out of the lot, most however will be fake I think?

Yesterday's evening post have identified 3 genuine badges and at least 7 badges that are fakes for sure.

Hopefully we can sort most of the others today

Sadly the only badges I would keep are the broken 10th hussars ,the Durham LI and the Gloucesters back badge. The rest are all very dubious lugs with feet and poorly defined wording on the reverse impression are ok on some Canadian badges but not on British ones.

Thanks to 54Bty I found what the problem was with the pictures (turned 90°).
I uploaded them again straight and cropped in this album. Hopefully this will help separate the fakes from the originals.

Could the remaining badges without comments pass as originals?

Okay these will go with the other fakes than.

Maybe someone can comment on the Lincolnshire Regiment, I like it or is it artificially aged?

Also the guards badges might have a chance?
