Hi Guys. I am trying to identify what the preceding Cap Badge were prior to Edward VII and photos of them or even any for sale.

I believe that they wore the MFP shoulder titles.

Default Military Foot Police - MFP

Here are three examples - all slightly different, of the never worn but heavily faked Military Foot Police cap badge in bimetal with slider.

Also a (hopefully genuine) MFP shoulder title in brass with hexagonal lugs, worn as a cap badge before the issue of the EVIIR badge.
