Default unknown insignia... at least for me

Hi all,

Here is one badge what I would like to ID and also valuate...

I presume it is some kind a Birmingham militia or what? From what period it can be and what it's worth?

Thanking you in advance,

Timo

Default Birmingham Pals Shoulder Title

It is the top half of a WW1 period shoulder title for the 2nd Battalion of the Birmingham Pals. There should be a bottom half which reads R Warwickshire. Sadly not worht a great deal in it's current condition

Well, if someone brazed an ordinary Royal Warwickshire title to the bottom carefully, it could be worth quite a bit more - and you may be surprised what someone might pay just for this.
