Real or Fake?

Have had these badges for some time but have never been 100% they are original. Would be interested in whether you think they are real or fake.

I think they’re all fine except for the Ox & Bucks which has very poor reverse detail and looks like it might’ve been chemically aged (the black).

P.S re the RIR is it my eyes of does the back look to be double struck? The badge is from the FN die which sadly has been re-used. A better picture with more light and at a bit of an angle to also see the slider shape better would help.

Hi Luke,

Thanks for your post. I'll post some more photos of the RUR badge tomorrow when I can get a better light. The badge looks slightly double struck but this has come through more in the photo.

Couple of different shots of the RUR badge showing the slider and rear.
