You are showing an Intelligence Corps Officers Service Dress collar badge with King’s Crown in a bronze finish with two lugs. It should measure about 25mm x 34mm. It was worn from 1940 to to about 1953.

It it were an Officers Service Dress cap badge it would look the same but measure about 34mm x 46mm

Hampshires is genuine but about £6-£8.

The RWF is the same.

thank you so much

what is the 4th one?

I thought the brown ones were in economy plastic and fake. apparently I was deeply wrong

Any idea about identification of 4th one and approximate value for the 2 darker badges?

Thank you thank you thank you

It’s a East Surrey officers collar badge.

Approx value, not an awful lot.

Prices varies dependant on quality, makers etc. of collars and if a matching pair. I’d think if you hunted around and were prepared to wait you’d be able to get both for a tenner or under fairly easily.

Personally I’d not pay more than £20 for that lot. All very common.
