Hello Henk
Yes, the Norman Litchfield Collection contained an officers die-stamped silver-plated example with 4th W. RIDING in the top scroll and YORKSHIRE RGA VOLUNTEERS in the lower scrolls.
There was a similar example in his collection for the 1st West Riding RGA(V) with 1st W. RIDING in the top scroll, remainder as above.
It may be that the officers only of these corps wore special badges, the other ranks wearing just the normal badge with VOLUNTEERS/QUO FAS ET GLORIA DUCUNT.
I have seen your work previously in regard to Australian infantry.

Keith
