Default Ox & Bucks badge
Hello, this one is a mystery to me, is it a cap badge, collar, or sweetheart, its just over 1" wide. No markings, appears to be cast.

Not for the Ox and Bucks LI. It is collar badge sized, but cast is not normal. Seems to have had one lug twisted to affix the pin.
Possibly Indian Army?

It looks like the badge worn by 2nd Battalion, O&BLI on the maroon beret with a rifle green backing when in the glider-borne role in WW2. Originally part of the shoulder title.

Was not the ornamentation on the horn different from the badge in question?
