Default Unknown bulls head button badge

Hi, I would very much appreciate if anyone would take a look at this button- badge, and tell me if this bulls head has any connection to a military unit. I bought it with a lot of british military badges.
Thanks!

My first thought was a lapel badge for the RAOB “the Buffs”??

That seems more likely. Can't imagine soldiers wearing something so likely to snag on things. At least, not on duty/in uniform.

Thanks, Bob and Peter!
I think this must be correct. I had not heard of the RAOB before, but som search on the net shows some very similar lapel badge designs connected to the RAOB.
Great forum!
Regards
