Best bet seems to be Wandsworth Grammar School. I can as yet find no record of an School OTC though.

These were the exact searches I carried out when the badge was first listed as I thought it to be a Wandsworth VTC. There are two similiar and I would be very suprised to find the borough had three different. Spencer Park school is another possibility but whether of not it was Grammar or even existed at the time is another matter.

I'd like to think it's a municipal badge just so the buyer (also an ebay dealer/seller) has got stung for not doing the research!
