Is this real? - British & Commonwealth Military Badge Forum

I was given this badge, I know it's a Gurkha Khukri pin and that it's missing the crown, but is it a part of a uniform? A real badge? Or some replica/souvenier?

Cheers for any help.

its not missing a crown, its the gurkha staff band badge.

It used to be the generic brigade cap badge which was worn by the band until they got their own insignia. It is now worn by recruits at BGN until they are badged to their unit.
