Correct, here's mine which is still on the glengarry cap;



The second badge would be for the 7th (Ardwick) Battalion The Manchester Regiment which was a unit of The Territorial Force.

I will have to check my references later but I believe both these badges were only made in bronze whereas these two look to be white metal. Even so they both look like cast copies to me I'm sorry to say especially the Rifle Vols which has dreadful soft pitting on the obverse typical of inferior casting. That is to say that the pits have rounded or soft rather than hard edges which gives a kind of "wet" look to it. It isn't easy to see in my pictures because of the black paint mainly but a good badge has absolutely no sign of pitting and is high quality die struck.

Thank you Mark the Rifles Vol badge has a maker name on the rear , i think it could be ok as came in with alot of other badges of the same age from the local rubbish dump and was on a glengarry cap when found but the guys working there throw the cap way because it was badly mothed
