Churchill states that the KRRC didn't wear collars after 1881 except on mess dress and these were bugle badges. The 1st Cadet Battalion KRRC has a similar collar in Churchill 1473 but mine has The King's Royal Rifles Corp to the circle. The battle honours are present on the four limbs of the Maltese Cross.

I think perhaps a sweatheart badge but not with lugs I would have thought.

One for Ry I would think, comments appreciated, cheers Dean.
I believe it is an other ranks pagri badge, as worn on a small red patch of felt on the Foreign Service Helmet. The badge on the fur cap (busby) was indeed larger.
