11th Bn again not sure about the badge
title looks to have been separated from the T perhaps cut off then attached later to a separate T

The first Kensington badge on loops and the third in line are Martin Marsh fakes with the bird in the bottom left quadrant’s bum stuck to the cross.

I don’t collect AAs so will leave that one to others.

I shall have to leave it there for now...

The first pattern is fake as is the second pattern (3rd picture). The middle badge which is the third pattern looks fine.

The Paddington Rifles is fake as is the broken Hackney badge. The middle one is genuine.

The Finsbury Rifles with the die flaw below the Aris is also fake.

The PO Rifles has replaced modern loops but the badge itself is genuine.

The top 9th London is genuine, the bottom Gaunt one is a repro. I don’t collect officers badges so I’ll leave others to comment on those.

Both cap badges to the LRB are genuine as are the 6th and 7th Bns.
