Default Cheap pick-ups. Birmingham Pals & HLI

I bought both these badges for not much - could they possible be genuine? I know the world is awash with Birmingham Pals but just maybe. And did the the vendor not notice the VR crown on the HLI? Thanks for any help.

HI, Birmingham Pals is indeed a copy/fake, have a search through the Forum plenty of threads on good ones and what to look out for, the HLI is a bit before my collecting dates but looks good, others will confirm.

Default Thank you

Thank you Gerald. I need the badge to go with a group of medals so not unduly worried. Just when I saw the number stamped on the back thought it was worth checking. Regards, Mike
