Hi Richard,
The 9th, the gurkha engineers (bottom left), the 1st Gurkha rifles (bottom right) and the badge with S.S.S (southern shand states, a paramilitary police uint) all look cast fakes to me, the 1st (top right) I'd like to see the rear. Copies of these are being faked both cast and die struck.
regards
Steve
