Jack,

The large QV Crown is a rank badge. Used for Sergeant Majors and also above chevrons in that large size also.

The Lion & Rose is a Forage Cap badge for the KORR Lancaster

The 3rd prize badge I have seen before (not necessarily that year) and I havent been able to put a positive ID on it.

The '4' may refer to a Team of four for shooting or the like. Its a nice badge.
Thinking about it I am sure it was in the collection of an American gentleman that dies at the end of last year that I used to swap badges with that a lot of people on here knew but I am sorry to say I cannot immediately bring his name to mind. You probably know who I mean.

These badges could be out of his collection as I was offered them some time before his death and bought quite a few but others worked out a little too expensive. There was a lovely Black/Green/Red KRRC Colour Sergeants arm badge that I particularly wanted.

regards
