I recently acquired this group to Pte W H Reynolds Cape Police D2 which came with the badges shown



I cannot identify the badge bottom right



It resembles the Boer War slouch hat badge Owen 1844 in shape but I presume that was brass



whereas this is silver. Could it be a sweetheart brooch?

It is a Cape Police slouch hat badge, almost certainly made in King Williams Town and not a sweetheart brooch.
