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.
Here's a another tiny KRRC badge.
This one has N/S lugs and no honours on the arms of the cross.It came with a pile of pre- 1928 Bakelite Rifle Brigade buttons from eBay last year.
Cheers.
