Default Seaforth Highlanders & King's Royal Rifle Corps

The quest to weed out reproduction badges continues with these two. I’ve had a good run lately, so I’ve picked these two which might bring me back to earth.

The Seaforth Highlander badge has a distinct gold tinge to it. The pictures posted make the badge look more goldish than it is, especially the back.

The King’s Royal Rifle Corps slider (at least) seems wrong because the pictures I’ve seen seem to have the slider blackened when you can see one at all.

Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Nothing wrong with your KRRC however it has a replaced slider. The Seaforths is a dud IMO.

Unfortunately must second the opinion, Seaforth is bad.

Not very keen on either to be honest, the Seaforth appears brand new and I would certainly seek a replacement for the KRRC, but, both are very common, so you should have no problems whatsoever.

Thanks for the responses. I had my suspicions going in.
