Default West Kent?

I thought this might be a Royal West Kent or a West Kent Yeomanry variation. I can't make any sense out of the letters on the scroll. 35mm x 22mm.

Hi Tony,

The letters spell out the word INVICTA. A clue?

The scroll says invicta, but in an old font.

Thank you both. I really couldn't make the letters out. Now you've spelled it out for me I can see it.

Thanks for the link Ry. I agree with Andy. Looks like a 20th London. Slight difference in the angle of the tail on the RWK. A pity it's damaged. I only paid £4 but a very tricky badge for a beginner to come up against.

Looks like it was my day for missing scrolls.
