Default 2 Royal Scots Greys Cap badges opinions

Hi Folks

2 Greys cap badge questions

The top one is a typical cast badge often called "locally produced" my question would be is this an out and out fake or an actual period locally made bazaar badge?

The bottom one appears well made but is all white metal, is this just simply a fake or some sort of pipers badge?

Regards
Sean

The top one could be a "bazaar" made piece, but hard to be sure; although it looks the manner of pinning the scroll on is typical of Indian make.
The bottom badge is a fake in my opinion.
