Default Collars and Shoulder Titles for Review

Would appreciate members opinions on the collars and shoulder titles please as I’m aware some have been repro’ed in recent years. Also what would be a fair price.

Believe the motto collars are 1960s era. The Machine Gun Corps collars look good quality and appear to be cast bronze with D loops.

If good I will be moving them on.

Luke,
I have this pair of 17/21L collar badges which I think are reproduction?

I see thanks. Griff had them on his site as 1960s but if there’s doubt in the tat box they can go.

Luke,
I would be very pleased if others assess them as genuine.

I have an arm motto very much like yours that was given to me, with other 17th/21st bits, in 1997 by an ex 17th/21st Lancer, he had transfered to the REME on amalgamation with the 16th/5th.
I'll dig it out for comparison.

I’m happy the Chad is fine. Sorry I put it in for size comparison.
