Default Royal Scots Greys

help needed to identify this badge. Lugs appear to be silvered. Badge does not test positive for silver. Not made of lead. Quite heavy. On close inspection i think there were other fittings before these lugs. You can see where lug was attached on back of eagles head, and just above right hand lug. Possibly hoops?

The design is that of an NCOs arm badge.

Thanks Luke, I did notice the design was the same, but I thought the badge was too big and heavy for an arm badge.
But thinking about it, I assume that the arm badge would be bigger than the cap badge. Still surprised that it is so heavy.
I don’t have much experience handling arm badges.
Appreciate you taking the time too comment
Regards
Chris
