Leicester is a complete fake,

RH is fine.

SLI is probably OK but not very old.

regards

Hello Colin,

The Leicester Regt badge is a copy, the maker mark on the slider is one not associated with other rank cap badges only officers,the other two badges look ok.

Hi Gents

Leicestershire in the fake box then good to take the bad out of circulation, will sell on the SLI and RH as they are spares.

Thanks for the swift response as usual,

Colin.
