The military version would have either a ring or hook attached to hold the chin chain.

Sorry Dave it's not- it is without doubt military and as I stated several posts since - a pre Ww2 Formation badge for the 49th (West Riding) Infantry Division

Dave,
I also thought initially it might have been a rosette from a Volunteer Blue cloth helmet but comparing it with one,the rose is different.

P.B.

bc,
Thanks for the size. The only difference between yours and the one I have seems to be the brass backplate. I assume that its one that was used as it is very slightly domed around the centre. It would also have stopped the rose edges from damaging the uniform.
