Default Devonshire Regiment ORs QVC Forage cap badge

After several years of searching I have bought a long slider version of this badge, so here it is with my other QVC examples and my long slider KC.

Interestingly this is the only die variety I have noted so far for the QVCs and it seems very similar to the one illustrated in the Edwardian Gaunt catalogue.

Thanks chaps, I gave it a gentle scrub with a toothbrush and a little soap and it came up lovely.

All I need now is an all white metal QVC, but that could take any number of years.

A nice original badge, but, with a slider in that period isnt it more likely to be a pagri badge?

regards

So my slidered badge is not unique, this one has presumably been shortened and used.
