Dean, as far as I can see, the Vol Bns did not get their own insignia until 1888 - or in some cases 1892. They certainly wouldn't have had 'cap badges' until the mid 90s.
incidentally there are some slidered VB examples though most will have retained lugs up to 1908.

Sorry Ticker, I've only read your post properly now !Yes, I remember my earlier post but I think that some VBs did have WM badges before 1901 too.
I hadn't noticed the Gaunt stamp on yours Dean - should it be London rather than B'ham at that date ?????
