It is a "sweetheart" badge, worn by civilians for whatever reason. These types were of course never worn in service.

Thank you Cbueler!
Ok for a Sweet it's very large

But Why enamelled?

The French....:D

Looking at the photographs, I would have thought that it is large because it is a converted cap badge, originally worn upon the various headdress by members of the regiment.

hello

the same orange one, i do not think mine is a converted badge, it's too easy to bent, not the good metal i think. there is a little mark on the back " england"

may be a commercial product for civilians made by an official badge maker

regards

Obviously not a converted cap badge, I think a company called agnew used to do full sized and diffent colour for some reason enamelled badges.

I resuscitate this post. I had some problems answering you before but thank you all.
My badge is brass It doesn't bent and no mark on the back.....:confused:
Good afternoon.
