Default 9th Queen's Royal Lancers for comment.

Thought I would put these badges up for comment, I don't consider a retaining clip attached to a badge as a sign of authenticity.
Cheers Tony.

If I could pick some for my collection then 3,4 and 5.

Not to say the other 2 are fakes but the retaining bars may be dodgy as the have added to make fakes look authentic and the first one looks to have been repaired.

The solid backed one is unusual but I would not write it off.

Hard to say from the photographs, notwithstanding, they look okay.

Thanks to Alan and Frank, agreed photos could be better, will take time to upload better individual images.
Cheers Tony.

They look okay on the face of it, but, a photo of each would help.

Badly flawed, but, I would think original, you often encounter other badges like that, the Parachute Regiment in particular.

Well, I don't think I'd be too unhappy with that one either, you know, they made an awful lot of badges for this regiment, from the photographs, I would say good, not what I would have bought, but, they were still the Delhi Spearmen.
