Default 5th LONDONS ??

Apologies for image quality and no pictures of the backs but grateful for any comments on these two badges:

Top badge in white metal does not have SOUTH AFRICA 1900-1902 on the circlet?

Other badge (blackened?)is LRB Cadets?

The cadets should have a voided centre and voided crescent scroll. They have been restruck to death.

Thanks Alan.

Can anyone comment on the first badge without the South Africa 1900-1902 on the circlet.

Not in K&K

Looks to be from the same maker as the fake cadets to me.

Alan,
Thanks again, the assessment will be passed on to the owner of the badges.
