The top two badges with George VI crowns look like Royal Engineers sweetheart brooches.
Can you confirm that Royal Engineers is written in the scroll at the bottom of the badges.

Yes both have Royal Engineers written at the bottom, so these were both sweetheart badges althougth it seems sent to his sister not his sweetheart. How/where were these badges bought from and who made them?

Are there any hallmarks or other makers marks on the back of the badges?
