Default Tank Corps, gold metal?

Hello
I've been weeding through my collection, when I came across this, it's made from an odd gold metal, and has been made into a broach, it's fairly heavy.
I got it when I bought a TC and RTC cloth shoulder title on eBay many years ago, it was in the bag with the titles, I contacted the seller who didn't get back to me, so I kept it.
I've always put it as a fake, but with the amount of unusual badges coming up these days, I thought I'd put it out there for opinions

Thank you

Chris

It's jewellers conversion that has had the slider removed and the pin added and then the whole thing gilded,
