The Gloucesters is a dud but the RAOC and RA are fine but appear to have been extensively cleaned. The RA is 1917 variety with the wire reinforcing behind the scroll.

Hi Chris, My advise is to use the dealers recommended by others, Militaria fairs are a good way to start as you can see & handle the badges before you part with any cash. it's also a great way to glean knowledge from other collectors. choose a field and try and learn about the regimental badges in that field rather than just trying to collect everything, you can always branch out later on. regards John
