An eclectic mix there Chris.

Batch 1 - Mancs V.B. is good, others are tat.
Batch 2 - PO Rifles is fine, the QC EY may be OK I’ll defer to post ‘52 collectors.
Batch 3 - London Irish is genuine.
Batch 4 - 1924 RTC and KOMR are fine. I like the ROC too.

That RFC looks very odd, would need a close up to be sure what’s happening there.

I am not too fond of the Warwick Yeo. or the Welsh Horse, but I am sure others will confirm.

The KOMR is indeed a good one.

The WY appears to have the fake style slider as the WH. Hard to be sure from just the photos, but that added to it's rather excessive length leaves me cold.

The WY is definitely repro as CB says.

In my reply the badges I didn’t mention as genuine are fake or in the case of the WKY (goggle-eye nag) and RUR from the same die as the fantasy KC AA, spurious. Apologies if I did not make that clear.

Yes, thanks Luke It was clear.
Sometimes there are badges that I feel are genuine based on nothing other than look and feel. This was one. I’m just building on my knowledge.
Thanks again
