Very nice. I've only ever seen a version with two tangs/prongs. Now I need to look for one of these

Thanks Mick,
It’s interesting since it’s all bronze, without wm/silver wreath. Here’s a photo found on the researchingww1 website:

Examples with blades were made as cap badges.

Left and right facing used in caps I was led to believe.

interesting... my example is 31mm north to south. I’m curious why RD adopted the practice of using the collar badge for the cap, while an established sealed pattern already existed? Was it a particular point of Regimental significance or or were they simply tired of being confused for Military Foot Police?

The story seems to be WWI privately made and worn until 1919 when they were forced to use the official pattern
