Default Help please Victorian badge and tank badge

I have a small collection of militaria that I have not looked at for 30 years.

Sorting through it now I have found these badges that I cannot identify and wonder if anyone has any ideas.

After taking the photo I noticed the Victorian pin badge (may not be military) has 1881/4 scratched on the back. I dont know anything about the tank badge except it must be at least 30 years old.

The first cannot really be descriobed as a badge.

Its a brooch, worn by a woman.

I dont know what the second badge is, sorry.

Thanks Manchesters, I had not considered the possibility of it being a brooch so thanks for pointing that out and sorry for posting it on this forum.

Hi!

The "fire spitting" tank is Swedish; probably a M 39 uniform collar badge (depending on its dimensions).

Regards
