The angle of the gun is used as a basic guide to dating, the nearer to horizontal, the earlier the badge. Obviously newer ones are made of artificial fibres.

Here are a few examples - the two together are WW2, the Commonwealth Division associated one is Korean War vintage and I think the 43 Inf Div example is early 1960s. Mike

Also worn by Canadian regiments during the Second WW, up until about 1944. There are Cdn made examples and the Canadians acquired Brit made examples as well.
