As I touched on in my recent thread on the subject of Lambourne Rising Sun’s the wonky sun rays and peculiar crown shape of the badge in post #2 is in keeping with their wares. The overall odd shape due to the scroll ends being too long is certainly another possible trait.
Like you I should like to see clearer photos and close ups of any mark. Sadly it seems the member who posted this has not been online for months.
On occasion Lambourne did stamp their makers mark directly into the badge e.g. North Devon Hussars and Berkshire Yeomanry. Also some of their wares are very rare, seemingly struck in very low quantities such as the Barrow & North Lonsdale VTC and 12th Officer Cadet Battalion.
On balance these thumbnails seem the best candidate for the existence of a Lambourne badge that I’ve seen but obviously not yet certain.
