That is by all appearances a very old relic of a badge. The RSF did use that latin motto, but when it was used on the flaming bomb badge I do not know.

A pouch badge is most plausible. The Somerset LI loved their number 13 and continued to wear it on various insignia well after 1881. Possibly a 20 C. badge for the band?

Any pic or link still available? GC badges were not always the straight chevrons they were "supposed" to be. As long as it is white for the 17L, it could be correct.

It is my understanding that brass lugs predate the copper type, but do they?
If indeed they do, what is might be approximate time for the copper type? I have badges from the 1880s with copper.
