Queen Mary's Own Yeomanry? (Surrey Yeomanry).
But I don't know how it could be, of that manufacture.

Too small for an arm badge?

Andy P and myself have been chasing an example since 2010 (and neither of us won it today!)

Queen's Own Mercian Yeomanry NCO arm badge.

The badge design was unpopular and withdrawn as it (vaguely) resembled the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) emblem. Hence pretty rare?
