Wanted to confirm my thoughts on these badges. The larger one with the repaired slider has no maker mark. I read somewhere if they are not marked Scully they would be British? The smaller one is marked Scully but I suspect a collar badge? It is about 35mm high and 40mm wide. The larger one is 50mm x 50mm. Thx Brian

Hi Brian, I am not an expert on these, but I have the understanding that Scully did not make slidered badges until the mid 1950's. So, general list badges with sliders would likely be British made. The smaller one looks to be osd finish?

Hi Bill Not sure what osd stands for but it looks like blackened copper. Shiny spots just appearing on the high points. Cheers Brian

HI Brian, osd is officer's service dress. But they are usually solid back.
