Hopefully the following will held.
Left to right below, not to scale.
SPN 1722-1888, The introduction of the grenade which replaced the cypher as the second part of the collar badges
What might be SPN 2648-1890, Churchill claims no change to grenade just minor changes to coronet - note strawberry leaves do not touch the cross.
other changes after this appear to be merely die renewals - no design changes
The vertical collar badges According to CC p283 these are SPN 10132 sealed 15/10/1926, note nothing to do with the cap badge except that they resemble in outline form the FSC badge SPN 4475 - 1897 that I show at the very end.
SPN 3800 sealed 09/06/1923 for Sgt Pipers and Pipers.
The Silver A/A version of the same (SPN Unknown to me)
The WM vertical grenade for No 2 Dress: SPN not clear from CC ps283/284 but thought by some collectors that SPN 10132 sealed 15/10/1926 was a composite Pattern covering both BM for other ORs and WM for PM and Pipers.
Finally SPN 4475 sealed 12/01/1897 for the FSC broadly similar to collar badge SPN 10132 but note separate grenade and different flame pattern.
Hope this helps, pm me your contact details and I would be happy to pass on my research notes for private use if of interest.
