Another three for the forum to look at.
1st vol batt slider seems wrong, and thought should be on lugs ?
2nd badge lacks detail to reverse.
3rd badge scroll does not seem correct.
But these are in my not sure draw.
Before I move them to the duff box could you please have a look for me.
Thanks
Chris

First two are repro. The SA scroll badge has been cast from a genuine badge but as to where and when... who can say. That’s the issue with sand cast badges without provenance.

Notwithstanding I wouldn’t want or have any of those in my collection, sorry.

No worries Luke, that’s why they were in the suspect draw.
Appreciate you taking time to check them out.
Regards
Chris
