A nice other ranks cap badge Alan.

Personally I attribute that die to WW1 as I have seen an example on an extruded slider and the distinctive arches are visible in several WW1 photos, inc. above.

My understanding is the officers metal cap badge was a different design with a scroll akin to the recent GWF photo. Here is a die cast bronze example on the forum.

Blades are encountered on a few other early Yeo other ranks badges.

You can see the WM version in my Top 10 Wanted album, the fixings are the same as the bronzed badge in post #37. My view is the tang fixing badges are early pre-War manufacturer.

At the outbreak of WW1 the R1DY were wearing bronzed badges on khaki sd. The 1916 tenders record that order as bronzed GM also.
