It may also have been worn by the Brigade but it was also worn by the band too. Possibly one of those generic local/municipal badges ?

Paul

Edited to add - The Badge depicts the “corporate”. ( rather than family ) crest of the Duke of Portland who owned (amongst many other things) Bolsover Colliery . His family home was at Welbeck and he owned large parts of the “Dukeries. I suspect that the Boys Brigade and Colliery Band were only two of many organisations to wear this badge ...

I like your OVS badge, a British made example, there were some German made, but, certainly not as nice, a lucky and scarce find, me thinks!
