I dont think you could call that a badge?

Its coloured stitching which may have been used to create a backing to a badge at best.

I reckon its been done too well to be just stitching ? IMHO.

I was think it may be polish as its the same colours as the monte casino cross ribbon.

I wonder if the Monte Cassino Cross ribbon clasp was attached to the cap?
It would be strange to have it running vertically but then the arrangement with the coloured stitching is strange too.
