Looks okay - the right leg of the 'R' has gone a bit 'frilly' though. Looks like toffee spilt over it.

Military Provost Staff Corps - looks too short to be Norfolk Yeomanry (compared to the slider, that is).

Just wondering if anyone has an example of a GvR Canadian Headquarters badge for comparison?

Appears to have very nice patination. The blob of, what appears to be solder on the loop is confusing. Perhaps a manufacturers mistake or something the soldier did to reinforce the badge? There appears to be no break on the reverse pic.
