Hi Drew
The Gurkha Museum lists this badge as
Cap Badge, MYITKYINA BATTALION, 1888-1942
20. This unit was raised in 1888, disbanded in 1890, and re-raised in 1894. It served until 1942.
The cap badge had crossed kukris, crossed left over right, blades edge downwards with the initials MP below the intersection and the initials M and B on either side.
It is listed as in black metal
Regards
Ian
