Thanks gents.
Tail tip isn’t connected on my badge, albeit, it has been knocked so may appear so in the pic.
Other V.B. badges attached and in link:

It’s an idea Mike, however, this badge is slidered and all the 4th V.B. scroll badges I’ve seen are on loops perhaps suggesting they’re earlier than the badge in the opening post.
