About the fourth badge with the number 36.
There never was a 36th Monmouthshire RVC, the numbers went up to 11th. But 36 was the precedence number of the county of Monmouthshire in the Rifle Volunteers. Thus basically it could be for any of the Monmouthshire RVCs or maybe for all corps in one of both Administrative Battalions of Monmouthshire RV.

And a question about the first badge.
Is that of the 1st Monmouthshire RVC (1859-1880) or of the consolidated 1st Monmouthshire RVC (1880-1885)?

Hi,
This badge was worn from 1863-1880c by all three battalions. Dave |

Thanks a lot for the clarification.
Maybe for others, that were: 1st Administrative Battalion of Monmouthshire Rifle Volunteers 2nd Monmoutshire (1st Pontypool) Rifle Volunteer Corps 2nd Administrative Battalion of Monmouthshire Rifle Volunteers
