Unknown Exeter or Devon related badge - British & Commonwealth Military Badge Forum

A new purchase, I'm wondering if its Military, Police or Fire related, its quite thick and weighs 86.25 grams?

All thoughts welcome, Rob.

Nothing like it ( as far as I can see ) in "Badges of Office" the book on police badges.

P.B.

Rob,

Just a passing thought, but could it possibly be mayoral/civic, perhaps?

Regards,

Hi,
I have the same badge but with a banner attached to the top, writes Devonshire Regt.
That may be, help?

Thanks again, its a strange object, something to do with horse furniture perhaps?

The only thing I can think of (and I am probably miles away ) are that they were made for a tattoo where soldiers were dressed up in old (style ) uniforms.
