I think you will find that it is a band pouch (aka music case) badge rather than 'valise'. There were/are two patterns.

Thank you Tony. Would you suggest that it is correct.

Was not the Victorian badge (fitted with hook & flat tube for the strap) a valise badge, the kings crown (fitted with lugs) a band pouch badge?

Rawlinson has this badge as #948 valise badge 1874-1902, the various pouch badges, QVC, KC and QC, all have different shaped scrolls.

Yes, Leigh, that is correct. I stand corrected, and did not look at the second image properly. Thank you for pointing it out.
