R.E. title

Hi All,
Here is a strange R.E. shoulder title, quite thick approx. 2-3mm.
Can anyone date it?
Thanks, John

Can anyone say if it is cut like those locally produced during the Boer War maybe?

That's a good suggestion, Sapper.
Here is a Boer War period title that has similar thickness and lugs.

It would be very nice if it was, I have never had any Boer War titles or slouch hat badges but the pointiness of the "E" reminds me of the badges forum members have shown previously.
Regards and Happy Christmas
