Hi John and Terry
This looks to be a school badge and more than likely one of several Auckland schools that used this lion rampant.
Options I give you are: Auckland Grammar; Mt Albert Grammar; Takapuna Grammar or Epsom Girls' Grammar. Could be cadets but just as likely to be a cap/ hat badge for the school uniform. A Prefect's badge is also an option but they are usually pin-backed.
The incuse "SILVER" mark is also a bit of a give away as this mark if often found on locally made items.
Hope this helps.
