Luke Halls has given thoughts on sliders in various posts, so you could search with his name, or just search for slider, unable to remember if there have been any good threads. As you now know its not an exact science and the manufactures did not leave clues with us in mind! In general for WWI, a crimp line is a good point, the longer the better, thiner the better and perhaps a slight tapper. Thats how it looks to me. Regards the lugged badge, It could have made it to Africa by 1902, or been collected say on the Somme, or bought from the UK by a collector or dealer more recently. Who knows? Part of the bug I think, holding a badge and wondering just what events it has been through.
