Default Cambridge University Rifles pouch badge

Recently acquired by default in another Lot is a blackened Cambridge University Rifles badge. It has screw post fittings, and measures 59mm x 61mm. I believe it is a pouch badge.

Default Cambridge University Rifles pouch badge

Rob,

Yes its a nice looking badge. Can you please confirm any dates of use as my copy of Hugh Strachen's history is still in the UK. From the title the unit was formed sometime post-1881, and I know it became Senior Division OTC in September 1909, but was this pouch badge worn for much longer after redesignation?

Stephen.
