Looking closely it is possibly made from an NCOs gun right arm badge (hence the stubs of loops E-W) with the upper scroll and crown and the lower scroll from a 'normal' gm badge very carefully brazed on. It is probably nickel plated with a hairpin slider.

Possibly unique rather than UBIQUE - but why was it made?
