A true badge,or variant,or a mule ? A puzzlement !
Ignoring the order of GM/WM that are describing - is this the badge 'shape'/type you are trying to get some feedback on? Incidently, this is an O/R's 5th Dragoon Guards helmet plate.
As cardiffbloke has already mentioned you really do need to provide
pictures if you want some sort of measured response.
