I have seen this badge on the Forum before - and don't think it was solved then, satisfactorily, either.

thanks guys
i also think this or a simmilar patch has been on the forum before. cant recall the outcome so cant search for it.
it is well made and i agree the crown does look european rather than british?

There was a crowned wreath badge with horizontal rifle worn as aBritish army Skill at Arms badge by best shot in a TA regiment or battalion.

Could this be an unrecorded badge for best swordsman in a yeomanry regiment, the shape of the crown down to being "locally made" abroad?

thanks Leigh
maybe, i am no expert on British items but it seems to me to be probably european in crown and cloth. maybe italian? Belgium? maybe even pre WW1 German or one of the states
cheers
