The one in my post 12 was identified as worn by Langley School ACF and Norfolk (Girl) Guides.

The silk-woven patch was worn on the upper arm of the Brownie shirts. Such a shirt went through on eBay a couple of weeks back. The Girl Guides also had a brass beret badge. A couple of reenactors were wearing the authentic wartime outfits at Sheringham 1940's last year and I noted their badges. I wonder if the badges being worn in the posted photos above are actually of that brass GG type? I did have one but can't find it to show here, and just remembered I passed it on to Roy in Magdalen street with a load of other bits I didn't want.

Yep, that's the one I was referring to. Thanks for showing.

There does appear to be two dimples on the bottom edge right where the scroll curl is on the badge posted above.

One issue being shadows are clearly interfering with the outline elsewhere so how accurate this is is hard to say for sure.

If you look on the first photo, you will see a small indent on the ends at the bottom of the tablet. These I believe are the returns of the scroll on the brass guides badge
