Plastic badges

[britpc]

Hi Guy's,
I need some help with these badges I picked up yesterday. They seem to be plastic.
I got them in a box with the badge I wanted which was a Para beret badge. Can you let me know if they are worth anything as I don't collect them and I want to move them on.
Cheers
Irv

Irv, plastic corps badges usually cost 5-7,50 pounds. With their blades missing I'd say 5 pounds each. Middlesex around 15 pounds perhaps.
Regarding the Recce badge, I'm having the impression someone tried to create an officers bronze badge from a OR's example. Worth selling on but it will not make you a rich man.
The para cap badge is a nice one, the lugs are a bit unusual and I don't believe I have seen them before for this regiment.

Thanks Luc,
So is the Recon badge original? If so what period? And my last question is how much should I put on it?

Recce corps was disbanded shortly after the war, so I think they are either wartime or fake. There is little chance of post-war manufacture.

I can't say if it is original or not. It does seem a nice heavy quality, but I don't like that the bottom part of the spear (below the scroll) does not align with the rest and that there is some excess material on the inside of the bends of the lightning bolt.
Good or fake, you will get 5-10 pounds for it. It is the most common pattern of the badge.
