Default The Norfolk Yeomanry - opinions appreciated

Guys, I would appreciate any opinions on this Norfolk Yeomanry cap badge. Is it good or bad?

Thanks in advance chaps.

My opinion is that it’s not Norfolk Yeomanry.

Default Not the NY

Hi it’s generally accepted these are not NY but provost, barrack staff or even a general service type of badge. I’ve seen lots of NY photos and I’ve never ever seen this smaller cypher badge being worn. The NY cypher is large and quite distinctive in photos.
