1st Prize (I thought was 2nd, hav'nt checked the books).
Was it 2nd Prize prior to 1892?

Always been 1st Prize with the Shell in wreath. The 1877-1892 badge was in silver wire, red or yellow worsted. There may have been silver metal versions then, but I have not found any record of them in metal for 1877-1892.
