Picked up a number of Royal Flying Corps badges recently. Most have maker's marks. Hoping the experts can help me determine if what I have are originals or not. Thanks.

I can't comment on the title, but I would be happy with the rest of them, well done, nice badges.
Cheers,
Alex

I don't think the J&Co is a good one and is a cast copy.

Thanks magpie. You are not the first to suggest the J&Co might have issue. Is there a definitive way to know for sure?

How do you tell? Do you have a genuine one for comparison?
Thanks, cheers,
Alex

It's been gilded and pinned but it's good , your badge as far as I can see is a cast copy from what I can see from the back.
