Default Right or Wrong
I am not sure whether these badges are right or wrong. Opinions please. Many thanks for looking. The R.F. has the number 7 in the middle of the rose. I am not sure if this is a mis-stamping.

The grenade with the "7" is/shall be indeed a very rare small pre-1881 glengarry badge for the 7th Regiment of Foot.
These are listed and shown in K&K vol. 1.

Regards
Markus

P.S.: copper lugs, poor details on reverse .... i am afraid not a good one.

Can you upload sharper photos of the back of each badge? It would help determine their originality. PY.
