The Rifle Brigade (Prince Consort's Own)Comment

I just noticed that this one only has Rifle Brigade on the centre piece, I think "The Rifle Brigade" was used from 1937 onwards, so I would date it between 1910 and that date.Comment

Thank you for the reply would you mind elaborating a bit?
Is it very old?
Is it very rare?
Is it very valuable to collectors?Comment

Some info for you on the battle honours on the badge:

The age of the badge as mentioned by Brett is just pre WW1 to late 1930's.
Sadly not rare nor valueable. But still a nice badge to own.

Supposedly in use about 1910 - about 1937, Gaylor claims that it was still in use during WWII.
The badge that succeeded it was sealed 26/8/27 according to Kipling & King.Comment
