As I suspected. Your head knows, but your heart doesn't want to accept it.

Hello Da Bear
This 2nd Warsaw Armoured Division badge is genuine along with the spinner, but the Picchiani & Barlacchi spinner is incorrect. It should have a Lorioli marked spinner
The 1st Tankers Regiment is a copy. Both official types were two piece badges.
The 3rd Cavalry Regiment is a copy. Both the official pre-war and exile versions differed in construction.
The 1st Batalion Sanitarny is a copy.
It’s the one on left that is a fake; the printed one is genuine, made by J. Snook of Nottingham. A scarcely seen variant.
Unfortunately a copy.
This 5th Class VM cross is a post war copy. Looks like an early Panasiuk. Some of these were legitimately used by veterans as replacements.
I appreciate the spirit in which you asked your questions, and hopefully you won’t be too disheartened by some of the not-so-good news. This website exists to help avoid some of these pitfalls, so we look forward to your continued participation here.
Regards,
Tony

Thanks T. It was pretty much as I expected. I was pleased about the 2nd Warsaw. I was pretty sure about about the 1st Armoured, but thought I'd check it out. I was pleasantly surprised about the 3DSK printed. I put those on here in the hope my suspicions were wrong. The pre-39 badges were very nice, but without a number or stamp, I assumed they were Panasiuk at best. They were not big investments.
I appreciate everyone's input. I am not discouraged too much. The happy news was the printed cloth and the 2nd Warsaw.
Thanks!
