The first badge may be original but it looks like somebody took a drill or dremel to it to do the voiding? That does not look like it was voided at manufacture, pretty rough looking.
Cheers,
Alex

Hi Alex
I think the voiding is pre dremel and looks as if it's punched out from the front

Here's the 'Martin Marsh' fake. The same die was used with and without various banners attached.

Perhaps this image illustrates the similarities better.

The basic design of this badge was worn for so long that a seeming myriad of small variations exist.
The volunteer badges to this regiment seem to be a near impossibility; not to mention most other regiments I suppose. I have been so jaded as to just skip by every most every one I see.
That home made voided badge is interesting, albeit not correct of course.
A nice lot though!
