Default Three in Brass

Gentlemen,
Could someone put me out of my misery regarding these three brass badges. Is the East Lancashire a possible economy, or just a fake ? The 4th prince of Wales...should this not be in white metal?
Finally the 17th Lancers, ahh the 17th Lancers. I love this badge but I have a feeling I am going to get shot down in flames ! All comments welcome.
Regards, Jim.

I agree not a fan of any, footed lugs on the 4th POW & wrong slider position for a WW1 East Lancs just to start unfortunately.

The East Lancs headdress has the triangular fold of the fake dies.

Just from the photographs you have shown, I would say that all are of more recent manufacture and post date what they pretend to be.

Thank you all for the replies. So they are all fakes as I expected, but are there any comments on the 17th Lancers as to what is wrong with it before I consign it to the scrap tin.
