Hi Paul

The Loyal North Lancs in the last picture looks like its been converted to a sweetheart kinda thing-proper clasp pin on the back- the rarer ones are the Recce Corps and the Control Commision Germany and the Royal Flying corps-cavalry and infantry make more than corps units as with all badges condition is everything

A rather late answer, but those 63 badges for ?200 - it's worth it, tho' of couse much depends on whether you want to start or add to a collection or sell them on. Either way, ?200 sounds ok to me if they are all genuine.

Some look genuine from the photos, others could be good or bad, can't tell without looking at them in hand, what is unusual is that all the badges with slider fittings have pristine sliders apart from one or two with shortened or missing sliders, none have been bent at all as they would be by wear.

They range through WWI including a few brass economy issues & WWII 7 beyond, with a few Officers Service Dress badges
