Default Unknow Trade badge

This is a large gold embroidered letter 'K' on khaki and measures 10x8 cm
Any ideas?

Its a massive size which IMHO makes it unlikely to be a British military arm badge such as the many other letter in wreath badges.

A nice piece all the same.

Default K in laurels

Hi Sean,
Only K in laurel wreath I have come across is a trade badge for a Cook/Caterer
in the Royal Marines.
K for cook/caterer, while C for Clerk!!
But the font of the K differs from the ones I have seen.
