As Andy says the GG is fake.

There are some cast copies 6DG, but look at the braze holes and overlay. If they are braze holes and you can see either braze or WM through them rather than just casting impressions then you’re fine. Your pic isn’t the best but I think it’s fine. If you post a clearer close-up in better light I can say 100%.

The others are good, I’ve dropped you a PM re the 18H.

I would be interested in buying the 18th Hussars if you are thinking of passing them on. Denis
