VRI badge for ID

[Alex Rice]

Hi All
Can anybody ID this VRI cypher badge please? I expect it has an Indian connection, it is 45mm tall.
Thanks, cheers,
Alex

VRI with Guelphic Crown, any possibility of a Royal Canadian Regiment link?

Morning Alex,
The badge is a shoulder strap badge for the Royal Canadian Regiment 1894 pattern.

Thanks very much for the replies. Is there any value to it as I have no use for it in my collection? Would it be worth listing for sale from South Africa?
Wonder how it got here?
Cheers,
Alex
