Hi BC
No idea. It doesn't appear to be a known badge and I've never seen one. I know some regiments had special badges made up for mess waiters in India, so that could be a strong contender. If it was something like that, I think it would be a great item for a Gloucestershire Reg collector.
Cheers,

The design is that of the regimental crest and I think you could be right, a mess waiter's head-dress badge.

thanks guys,
its not often that no one recognises a badge especially when its been identified in the title.
so am i to assume its a rare item if no one knows it?
