Thank you, that is superb!
It certainly seems to be a well made item, probably of the period, and not a far east (or even British) made decorative item. The interesting thing is that the badge seems to be part of the knob handle, with the same ageing and patina (and some wear) rather than having been added later, which would indicate it was all made together of course. It still doesn't pin down the actual use/identity of the badge exactly, but I think it lends a lot of weight to it having been around at that time in some form.
