It is the Middlesex Imperial Yeomanry but I am not sure it is genuine.

According to K&K the ER VII badge surmounted by a crown was gilt and was as shown BUT had Middlesex Imperial Yeomanry rather than MDCH on the circlet, the ER VII Middlesex Yeomanry did not have a crown and again had Middlesex Yeomanry on the circlet rather than MDCH. The MDCH replaced Middlesex Yeomanry in a new version of the GR V badge which also had a crown.

Wilkinson shows a range of badges but none have MDCH on the circlet, nor does the ER VII version have a crown.

Maybe others can throw more light on it.

Regards
Chris
