Hi Kevin,
I would like to contribute to this thread by adding some badges from my collection. I have a 1903-1908 badge with a slider. It looks as though the centre scroll has been rubbed down to lessen the word 'Imperial' possibly indicating that it was in fact worn by the user after the unit lost the Imperial status. I also have a Lambourne 1908 badge that seems by comparison a lower quality badge than it's predecessor and a post great war badge (1922). That badge has four circular brazing holes and yellow brass braise fixing the slider to the badge. Note that the slider is tapered.
Regards,
Garry
