Spotted a "post 1957" cast badge but it is described as having "two rear posts with washer and nuts" which I assume would be a sporran/pouch badge.

One thing I noticed is that the majority of cap (?) badges have loops and also have no 'gap' between the scroll ends and the shield .(like badge in post"1)

Could the badge without the eagle be a pre 1938 Auxiliary Air Force one ?

602 (City of Glasgow) Squadron became the first Auxiliary Air Force Squadron to be formed on 12th September 1925.

The squadron continued in the light bomber role until 1 November 1938 when it was redesignated as an Army Co-operation unit.
Have you tried contacting the 602 Squadron Museum Association to see if they can help ?
