Genuine, yes, scarce, very much so!

Size is: 40.5mm x 14mm

I would very much appreciated any comments on such badges in general and this one in particular, genuine? scarce?

I seem to recall that such badges are either shoulder titles and/or slouch hat badges, which is this or could it be both?

Also, if this is a hat badge would it have been worn with a rosette?

Any thoughts, comments, opinions or information either general or specific would be most appreciated.

Cheers, Roy.

P.s. forgive the impromptu photos, I'm rather unwell, so not on top of my game.
