Default QC Devonshire

I bought this one at an Antiques fair this morning.

It has quite long lugs and may be silver plated and gilt?

Is it an Officers collar badge?

Thank you Simon

I presume they only obtained QC badges after they returned home from Kenya?

Since this thread I have purchased what I thought was a cap badge to match this collar badge, it appears to be from the same die set, it has the front section pinned on north and south like the collar but it has a slider which doesn't seem right for an Officers cap badge.

But when it arrived I realised I have been here before, I posted this badge in an album years ago and was told it was a Birmingham mint badge.

So what exactly have I got?

Are the last two Birmingham Mint badges with the fronts pinned on differently made in the same die set as this genuine collar?

Was there a cap badge to match the collar shown in post one and if so what fittings would it have had?
