Arrow 11th Hussars NCO's Arm Badge?

Good day folks

I believe this to be an NCO's arm badge for the 11th Hussars. Approx 2.5 inches tall and 2 inches wide. Am I correct.

Not my area of interest which is why I ask.

Also came with this interesting piece of soldier's art. Made from a car badge I think with a cap or collar inset and a shoulder title below. Stands just over 6 inches tall with an easel stand to the rear. Nice for the 11th Hussar collector.

Best wishes

James

The "NCO's arm badge" is a fake.

Never made in GM only WM.

Often seen on ebay.

Simon is correct the arm badge in Brass is fake.
Here are 3 examples of genuine arm badges.
White metal, Silver plate and HM Silver

G'day James.

My understanding is that the Gm badge is a pouch badge rather than an arm badge, which as the boys have said is either Wm, Silver or Silver Plate.

Regards

Phil.
