Hello guys,
Victorian ? and Kings crown badges. The Victorian having footed lugs. I have read previous posts, but could I have some opinions please ?

I dont like either of them.
The 'Victorian' one is a bad fake.

regards

The QVC is definitely a fake as mentioned, and the KC does not look quite right either from the reverse, and the Lion is missing some voids.

Thanks for confirming CB and Simon. As I thought, the Victorian is a fake, and the kings crown has a bit of a fault by the right side thistle, among other things. I will assign them both to the melting pot.
Regards, Jim.

From the photographs, I would have thought that both post date the period that the regiment was extant to.
