Looks like the centre from a Gaunt car badge?

These chromed badges have 12-15 mm threaded posts to attach to the coloured car badge backing.

Cambridgeshire Regiment Car Badge
The threaded posts could have been cut shorter from something like this:

Might also have been used on a Regimental Cigarette Case or Waist Belt Plate?

Cambridgeshire Regt badge
I have a chromed version of the Cambridgeshire Regt badge and also another bi-metal Cambridgeshire badge which is soldered on to a brass disc that I have never quite nailed as to it's use, I first thought this was a car badge, but as can be seen from the fixings it's not.
The badge which is thought to be a pouch badge is the third photo, this one has screw posts, but other similar badges have normal loops, so quite when and why these pouch badges were worn I would love to know, I have spent over thirty years looking at photos and talking with veterans and no conclusive answer has been made. My thoughts on the first badge is a car badge. Rob

As collectors, we always want answers. In cases such as these, I doubt any such will be forthcoming. Any badge can be turned a piece of trench art, craft decoration piece, or car badge by anyone at any time period.
For myself, I take them as they are. CB
