Default HOUSEHOLD CAVALRY - TRUMPET MAJOR'S CAP
A must have for any serious collector.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-Brtis...MAAOSw1EFgLkor

Take it easy and don't fight over it guys

UPDATE: The original post on ebay has now been changed. The item was originally advertised as a Household Cavalry Trumpet Majors Cap and Cap Badge.
I contacted the seller and he did to his credit immediately changed the description of the item.

it's always great to share stuff like this with you guys. I always end up in stitches.

On the serious side there are a lot of clowns on evil bay who just don't have a clue and won't even take advice if given.

keep up the good work

That’s definitely a cap badge as worn by our very own Royal Mail

It’s definitely a British army hat of what is known as “The Non Royal Pattern”, worm by the Mercian Regiment and The Yorkshire Regiment

They are almost identical to the royal mail cap. I think this seller's photo makes the cap look darker. Heres my example :
