Default Lost lamb for ID, please

Would anybody know to which particular flock this lamb might belong, please?









a) All-W/M
b) Absence of halo, and no apparent sign of there ever having been one
c) Standing upon a torse (as per the post-1924 Queen's Regiment cap badge) but of the same pattern as the pre-1924 badge, pattern 4681/1898 (absence of both the halo and scroll notwithstanding)
d) Exactly the same size as the pre-1924 Queen's Regiment cap badge
e) Appears to have had loop fixings at some point - no indication of there ever having been a slider
With thanks,

JT

That’s a thought. The paschal lamb (if that’s what this is) certainly is a ubiquitous creature, for sure.

Been boring Phil to death chatting with Phil2M about this, and we’re wondering if there might be a connection with the Merchant Taylors’ School:

Sutton Valence School also used the paschal lamb as a cap badge for the CCF and earlier incarnations.

Hoping so, Andy. It'd be nice to nail this one.

Indeed they did, Simon, though the differences in design are enough for me to suspect no close connection.

The Sutton Valence lamb bears no flagstaff of course, and stands upon a scroll as opposed to a torse.
