I am not condeming it as it may well be correct for a khaki FSH. There was an AO circa 1904 that forbade metal badges in FSH which led to the use of cloth patches.
The TF's garrisoning of India in 1914-15 saw a resurgence of metal badges in India albeit not officially.
I have seen a few of these slidered officer's patterncollar badges and am concerned that they may not be contemporary.
