An RI.C. Mounted Troop Bit Boss
This badge appeared in online auction a few years back. I was wary at the time, as given the poor finish of the item I thought it may have been a fake, so passed on it.
I now believe (thanks to information on this forum) that it is the brass backing plate to a bit boss, given the post fittings to the reverse. The silver badge to the front had gone, but it would have been the same size as the breastplate.
