I think this is a C/Sgts 'Blues' rank badge worn above the stripes in lieu of a crown on this uniform only.

This is the smaller version of the Colour Sergeant's badge, the earlier version with 'Kings' crown was larger, this I know for a fact as my father wore a KC Colour Sergeants badge during his service in the Royal Marines. I had his old badge for many years, but sadly I no longer have it.

Many thanks Destro, Mike and John.

I thought it didn't look right for a blazer badge

And it looks like the last 7 digits of the NATO stock number on the lower back.

John, if you have a look at Rod Flood's site (Minden Militaria) RN/Royal Marines page 6 there you will find similar.
