Michael - am I correct in guessing it has rectangular braze holes behind then scroll and Sphinx? The Sphinx and castle look identical to an erased scroll Essex I have. I’d guess some further die ‘hobbing’ has gone on to produce your little gem.

Luke, I'll post images as soon as I take delivery of it. Would be very interested to hear your thoughts.
I have seen other Essex Regt badges where you can see the scrolls have been converted.
