Default Brass A Group Trade badge

Dear forum,

I have just acquired this brass A group trade badge made by J R Gaunt. I have looked on here as well as the wider web but can find little to no information on them.

Is it Great War period? Are they common?

Many thanks,

As far as I know it belongs to the Police, not military.
