I would guess Warwickshire Yeomanry.
Let me know if it is surplus to your needs.

The backing to the badge suggests Warwickshire Yeomanry, but why not Mounted Warwickshire Constabulary?

The police option was my ignorance of pouch's, especially Yeomanry. I thought that the Warwickshire Constabulary may have at one time had a mounted unit or possibly a band. I mention it in the past tense as it is in leather rather than plastic which has been used for sometime by most other ranks in full dress. In my experience (Yeomanry) officers use pouch's quite often kept in the museum whilst not on parade. I am not sure of my intentions yet Phil but will bear you in mind. Regards Phil.
