Default Calling FAKE on this one!

As much as I would love to believe this is genuine I must really call FAKE on this one.

Just a couple of "1st VB" scrolled badges of a number of different regiments from the same seller.
I picked up a couple of similar badges in Bath some years ago, although I think they were "2nd VB" scrolls to a couple of line regiments.
Scrolls added to the "basic" badge, the whole given a w/m coating, I should've kept my money in my pocket.

Even the caption is wrong. There was no 1st VB during WW1. All VBs lost their V and were renumbered after the other Battalions in their regiment in 1908.

In this particular case the 1st and 2nd VB KSLI were merged in 1908 in 4th Bn KSLI (TF).
