Default For ID please - bugle and musician badges

Hi, can folks help out on these three please - all were given to my Aunt having been found inside a bag bought at jumble. Not sure what the longer term plans are for them, for now am looking to get a positive ID for her.

The bronzed RFC cap and collars look ok to me.

The bugle - with the QVC maybe a volunteer badge, but by the size of it a pouch badge perhaps? Or a restrike / fake?

The other white metal badge - clearly musical and possibly foreign or non-military?

Any help gratefully received. Thanks, Michael

The bugle badge looks okay to me and could be part of a militia helmet badge missing the regimental number. It's not pouch in my option because of the lugs on the back and not screws.

Looks nice to me!

Regards,

Dave

Many thanks Dave - I had not considered helmet but as you say the fixings would suggest that as more likely.

With that in mind, any other suggestions or positive ID folks? (on that or the musical one?)

Michael
