Default Royal Naval Division CPO's badges

Hello,
I wonder if forum members may be able to give me some advice on these badges which came with a large archive of original paperwork and medals to a CPO in Hood Battalion.

I have no experience with these badges but interested in your opinions. Note that one of the CPO badges appears to have two holes drilled above the anchor.

Thanks, NR1919

The CPO badges are absolutely genuine and lovely, shame they’re both broken and one’s been nailed. The Hood badge is 100% fake I’m afraid.

Thanks Luke,

They came with a group of medals and a large amount of original paperwork, shame the Hood Bn. badge is duff. The CPO's badges would have been his as he held that rank.

Cheers, NR1919
