King's Crown with Tang Fittings - Rank Badge or Cap Badge?

[leigh kitchen]

I don't have any British rank insignia with tang fittings, but is this one?
It measures 30mm tall by 27mm wide, is it a crown worn to be worn above chevrons by eg a Staff Sergeant and/or could it be a Civilian Batman/Batwoman cap Badge?

Hi, for me, this looks like a crown badge that is worn above stripes. Is there a chance you could post a picture of it next to a coin / advise on size please? Many thanks.

Apologies, I did not see that you had put the size in your post......

This could be a Warrant Officer 3rd Class badge.

My money would be on War Department Auxiliary Police Cyprus cap badge pre 1953

I would say the same as Sean but mine is 40mm x 40mm and on a slider.
I did obtain this badge while serving in Cyprus.

Again, thanks for that info.

Hi, in this case, I would go with the other opinions in this post about the badge being a Cyprus Police related badge, as these members probably have more experienced knowledge than myself. The post I wrote was based on Google searches as well as the fact that the badge looks too large to be the crown above rank stripes. I am writing this to remove any uncertainty which my post may have caused. Many thanks to all for your posts.

Ta.

I did seek out my copy of "Badges, Insignia and Uniforms of the Admiralty, Army & Air Force Raised Police Forces (Overseas) Including Sovereign Base Areas Police Cyprus" by Harry and Joyce Wynne, it illustrates a yellow metal King's Crown for the Cyprus badge but doesn't give its dimensions (as ever, it's disappointing to be told that size matters).
