Those marks on the front of the badge , I think have been talked about before on here. I also that the crown has been added to the cypher. I am not sure if the Norfolk yeomanry had an arm badge.

It's not an arm badge. The arm badge was the Royal Arms with a scroll below reading "The King's Own".

It could have been worn as a Norfolk Yeomanry cap badge looks big enough but I suspect a pouch badge, not sure on the dots they look home made to me. The EVII cypher is fancier for want of a better word and maybe the owner was trying to emulate this? I guess it makes it a curio.

Hi dean, thanks for your input, I can now see why that was done, basically taken from the ER7 badge.
