Hi everyone
I really would like an opinion on these 2 items I got from an estate sale. I know these are faked to death, so I would really appreciate some expert opinions.

Thanks in advance

I believe that first one is a reproduction. These are highly faked. It looks like a cast copy mounted on a wool backing to hide the details on the back. This is actually just a tinnie for an event, not an authorized badge that would be mounted on a wool backing. I have an authentic one you can compare with.

That second one looks suspect but I have never see one before so I'll let others remark.
