I have also seen the same moulds for Norfolk officer helmet plate centres and scrolls, and vic crown glengarry straps . Thanks for letting us know is out there.
I used to have one for the 2VB, but sold it on eBay for a fiver. If memory serves, the badges I remember coming out of it were mostly made in cheap silver masquerading as nickel (WM).
