Summary
The unpopular "chocolate" matt finish which was introduced in 1904 for overseas service but was largely discontinued by 1908 although some examples were still worn in WW1. It probably would have saved "blackening" the standard badges for camouflage. Apparently, the troops disliked the matt mud finish and it was often cleaned off. This examples retains much of the brown paint except on the lettering where the white metal shows through.
