Gilded King's Crown cap badge but what is it ?

I have not been able to find this one anywhere so I would appreciate if anyone is able to identify it. It is a very nice gilded badge made by Dowler. Appears to be a stylised MR in the centre.

Also the black collar patch is not Waffen SS, it is NSKK. Pre 1939 it would have been the rank of NSKK-Mann, post 1939 it was NSKK-Sturmmann.

The twisted silver and green could be police, the quality of the bullion wire suggests they are probably Imperial period.
