Amongst the regiments who used this design of badge as an NCO`s arm badge was the Cheshire Yeomanry.

Good afternoon Birdy & P.B.,

Depending upon the dimensions, if the badge measures c54mm x c56mm it could also be used as an NCO's and WO's arm badge in the 3rd Dragoon Guards, 10th Hussars and 12th Lancers prior to amalgamations after which by the 9th/12th Royal Lancers and The Royal Hussars. And by NCO's and WO's of the Yorkshire Hussars.

All good wishes,

Peter
