Never seen it before.
Construction and colour looks Canadian. Sign next to it says Mortar? Not a British badge I dont think. regards

It doesn’t look British Army to me either. I agree that Canadian seems the more likely.

It does not appear in he Bennet book and I would not agree that the construction suggests Canadian production. I would say that the consruction suggests earlier rather than later production but not WW1.
I don't know if Grumpy has any comments. I have probaly owned it for 30 years.

To assist us please can you show a photo of the rear and then zoom out so we can see the labels around it that would seem to give an ID
regards

It is very similar to the New Zealand Machine gun proficiency badge circa 1907 to 1917, but have not seen one with a crown before.

Quote:
The badges also showed progression within a trade, and were divided into groups (the highest level was Group 4, but there were certain trades that only had 1, 2 or 3 groups in total also). Group 1 - A basic badge was worn Group 2 - A laurel wreath was worn below the badge Group 3 - A crown was worn above the badge Group 4 - Both laurel wreath and crown were worn.
