Terry,
The silver hallmarked large tippet Reserve badge is of WWI vintage. I cannot read the date marks on your badge, but from experience most of the WWI badges were dated 1915.
I believe these were handed back when the nurses were no longer on the reserve and reissued in the beginning of WWII.
The standard WWII tippet badge was a smaller badge similar in size to the Reserve collar badge and not hallmarked. It was worn from the same ribbon though.
