I need to keep my eye out for the other round looped Brigade variations now.
The cap badge with pin and clasp is an odd one. Could it be a museum shop purchase thing?
Also, do you know much about the black plastic examples? I have the known 3 examples but I have a wierd 4th type, where a piece of electrical wire is used to fix the badge to the beret and it appears that this is how it was made. Any thoughts?

I've not seen that fitting on a black plastic RRF badge before, I suppose it's no more impractical than the other fittings.
The front of that example looks to have a particularly poor finish even by RRF black plastic standards.
That makes 5 different fittings on those badges -the black plastic "spike" and disc, the brass / white metal bar with cotter pin, the flat metal folding tab one, the brass slider one and now that beauty.
