Default various artillery corps badges

I have recently acquired quite a large collection of badges.
before selling these i would like to know if they are originals or possibly fakes / restrikes.

I have about 60 badges dealing with the artillery corps so I will fill this album the following days and weeks.

May I please have you comments on the badges in this album:

Of the current badges in the album the only good ones are the arm badge, moving wheel and officer’s gun badges. The others are standard fakes sadly with the tall orb on he crown and nick out of the RH scroll end.

You have about £10 worth in total.

All the rare ones are fakes.

Going by these RA and the airborne badges I would suggest you’ve bought a rather large quantity of fakes containing very few genuine items. Instead of selling these I would contact the person you bought them off for a refund as most are good only for the bin, sorry just my opinion.

Hi, thank you for the comments.
A bit disappointed that most of them are fakes but it was
A calculated risk that I took when I bought these.
A lot of badges were good and I'm posting the ones that I don't know or have a bad feeling about for review first.

Will post some more when I am back from work this evening.

Such a fake badge l, could I ask 1 or 2 £ for them each or are they so bad nobody wants these as a (temporarily) filler in the collection or refrence material?
