At a guess I'd say 15th London. I've seen silver examples sold described thus.

I suspect Wilts Yeomanry - the feathers have a distinctive shape.

The shape of the feathers is the same as the pattern worn by field officers in the Welsh Regiment, although they should only be found in sterling silver.
I have one that can be attributed to a named Major in the 2nd WW and will post it tomorrow.

Griff,
Sorry, you got the wrong one before I edited my post. That one is for a Welsh Regiment Militia Officer's glengarry c.1880's 3" high and it is a beaut.

Did bandmasters have bladed badges?

Possibly Middlesex Regiment band.

This is the badge worn by Field Officers (Major and above) in the Welsh Regiment.

The first is attributable to a particular Officer. The second is an example I've had for years, but looking at it now against the first I'm not so sure the second one is right.
