It is trying to be a 9th/12th Lancers beret badge but is likely to be as said a ‘fashion’ item or some kind of given away token, perhaps for a charity donation.

I picked up several of these about 5 years ago in a large job lot of cloth badges. They have a safety pin on the back.

Mike V, Just FYI, I recognize the patch you show. It's the Imperial Flubbly Regiment of Iwishastan.

Very rare and I've always suspected worn by their guard regiment. Here's a picture of one of their officers.

Or... OK, maybe not!!!
