Default Ox & Bucks LI on long pin

A buy from a local antiques centre with some staybrites, but this appears to be cast from a base white metal and has the very long tapering pin.

does anyone have an idea, theater made pug badge seems possible?

Jerry,
The badge is not Ox & Bucks as it has square not rounded top loops. Looks like standard Light Infantry with a strange slider.

thanks Tim, the bows of course. I had wondered if it was new metal but not it seems, looking at Chris Marsh's book

it is not a staybrite, it is really heavy in comparison

The LI shown in my earlier post is new metal [NMD11]

Here is the new metal Ox & Bucks worn briefly by the Light Division Band.
