Its not specific to the 2nd Bn or a VTC badge.

Thank you for clarification Simon.

It appears to be brand new, terrible.

They are certainly very handsome badges, your example is particularly nice though, simply because it retains it original lugs, a great many do not.

Also for your explanations of the Brunswick Star badges, Simon.

I have never seen a metal badge worn, including the comparable style bi-metal badge widely described as a Warrant Officers Cap badge, originating from Gaylor.

It is not a cap badge, not anything to do with Warrant Officers either, and is a 2nd Bn. band pouch badge.

Thank you Simon. I wanted to make sure we hadn’t missed a variant for our uniformology.com series on the round forage cap of that type.

I have definitely seen photos of subject badge being worn by the battalion HQ staff sergeants on the subsequent 1905 coloured universal forage cap.
