I was informed many years ago, not by anyone in this forum, a ret Col of the RTR who collected Tanks badges that these badges were not right. Any thoughts at all please?

Hi, the first three are all from the same die, and as it includes what looks like an officer's bronze that would make them all suspect. The second lot just look like very bad castings. I'm at work at the moment so can't look at my known copies to compare but I suspect them to be the same, best wishes Mike

Thank you Mike, I also didn't think a tank facing left officers bronze existed anyway.
