Always helps if you show a picture of the back of a badge.

Thanks for your feedback. Actually, by nomenclature I mean who would have worn this badge, eg. Light Infantry, Rifles, etc. and when. It is cap badge size.
No, the wm is or appears to be residue of solder. Originally, the badge appears to have had a trio of lugs, and some cretin rather than leave well enough alone, decided to attempt soldering a thin strip of copper in lieu of a slider.
Badge appears to be quite old. It is Brass, not gilding metal and has a beautiful aged patina together with a century of accumulated 'grime' at back.
Unable to take good focussed pictures at moment. Need to get the hang of my smartphone
