Sliders are extremely common on VB badges, although many are on later issue versions which carry the SA scroll so therefore post-1905.

There are no hard and fast rules with shoulder titles. I've got spade lugs on 1950's badges and loops on Victorian ones.

Small QVC Harp Badge

I was watching the badge below with interest thinking it might be an early London Irish (Middlesex RV) example.

The w/m grenade is a collar from one of the RF Volunteer Bns, possibly also worn in the field service cap. Looks fine to me.

It's not the first time I've seen a badge like this. One was one of the Surrey schools (Reigate?) with a Queens used as the backing. I think it's on the OTC section of the forum.
