Can anyone ID this badge? It came from South Africa in the 1970s and the crossed flags are the same arrangement as on the Imperial Light Horse badge
Could it be a post-Boer War peace badge?

Tarkastad Town Guard in the South African War.
On another forum, there's an enquiry whether the Tarkastad Town Guard wore any insignia. I'm sure someone here will know!

Hi
I found this on a South African War battlefield; I think it's probably spurious but wanted to check it wasn't Naval.
