The badge is ASC, WW1. If it had been WW2 it would have been RASC.

I would say this was a very nice serviette ring, made from a shell driving band (as has been said above).

I'd agree with Graham - a serviette ring from an Officers' Mess. It's customary for a departing officer to present a gift to the Mess on being posted out - this was possibly such a gift.

My thought exactly. It's from a fired shell of small calibre, you can see the rifling marks. It could have been made to fit around a walking stick?
