I cant see them being a problem. Their hallmarked so you can find out who made them. Their collar badges.

The first photo is of the collar badges and the next two are of the cap badge, my concern was whether they are cast badges from an original Hallmarked badges?

Hi Ronions
There have definitely been threads on here in the past concerning the small MGC silver badge with both the B&P and G&S 112 Regent St marks. A confrontational prior member and silver collector now banned, Silver Tourist, was quite scathing in his opinion of a similar badge that was listed on eBay a few years ago. His opinion being the mm's and hallmarks were not stamped but cast from an original. Thus a fake. Unfortunately I think all the photo references being linked to eBay have long since disappeared, but it might be worth trying to use the search engine. I probably have not helped you, but I understand your concern. Hopefully a collector with better experience of how the marks should look when stamped v cast will comment.On balance not looking good.

Oh, and he said that the crown has a fine raised line that would be where the mold has been cut. This is normally carefully removed from finished pieces of quality.
