David,
As I said these badges were worn on collars, caps and other items of equipment and Churchill deals only with collars.
The Torin cap in this thread is a prime example of a similar badge worn on head dress.
Churchill is a superb book but doesnt and couldnt include ALL the various badges worn by the 1859 - 1888 ish Volunteer Rifle Corps in the UK.
Having collected early Volunteer items and handled lots of uniform items, these various bugle horns appear with regularity in WM, silver, BB and brass, that you wont find recorded in any books. The VRC changed their uniforms as often as there CO's.
regards
