First, I want to thank everyone for their input & ideas.
Mike_vee: I believe that the QVC badge predates these small circulary ones. From what I know, the SAC's official logo with the lion was not used until maybe late 1901 (I assume they needed approval for the design). I have two SAC letters from Baden-Powell, and have seen a couple others. In 1900 and up to May 1901, the letterhead was plain. By early 1902 they had official stationary, with the full logo.
I think that the answer will come based on the style of the back "lugs".
I am not a military collector and have very little knowledge on badges, etc. I'm only interested in the SAC because of it's ties to B-P and eventually the Boy Scouts.
