Thanks Chris! I have one of these as well. I read somewhere that after Victoria, many of the QVC badges were repurposed to be used as collars by clipping the crowns off.

Hello Madziro,
Would the slouch hat rosette fixing hook shown in your picture be the same type worn with this white metal BMR slouch hat badge. Or was there a later version of the slouch hat hook made in white metal for this white metal BMR slouch hat badge. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Invest

Greetings. The hook fastener for the later badge was in white metal, but was the same design and size. Hope this helps.

These white metal hook fasteners must be rare items in South African collections.
