I believe the second badge to be 1st VB Northamptonshire Regt. I think the 1st Northampton RVC wore the attached (note the Victorian crown on this one), who then became the 1st VB.

I would tend to agree with Luke that maybe it is cloth. But difficult to say. Interesting photos.

Thanks JT/Andrew.

Here is an example of it being worn on the collar. Not an officer, but it does raise the possibility that my badge is an officers collar.

Norfolk Regt, Britannia on a plinth badge

I recently acquired this gilt Norfolk officers badge. It is not one of the die stamped gilding metal/ bi-metal fakes that are common on the internet with this style of badge. But it doesn't have the...

Given the makers name, the jacket is almost certainly that of the 4th Norfolk Rifle Vols who wore that style of grey jacket right up to 1888. The...

I believe it to be a pre-1881 headdress badge of the 9th (East Norfolk) Regt of Foot. The top of the spear is missing.
