Default "BP", bugle horn Victorian crown badge

For your sleuthing expertise, I offer this badge that I am having difficulty identifying.

Design elements are:
- the letters "BP" inside a bugle horn, surmounted by a Victorian crown
-made of brass metal
-measures 40 mm (1 1/2 inches) high X 46 mm (1 11/16 inches) wide
-two wire retaining loops/lugs on reverse for attachment

Any information that you could share about this badge would be appreciated. Thank you.

with kindest regards,

Tim
