I've no idea exactly what this is, but the design is the Royal Artillery badge, king's crown above gun by the look of it, just very worn down?
Or is it crowned wheel with crossed lance's behind? Could the design be specific to a particular RA battery? |

Depending on the size it looks like a very polished Royal Regiment of Artillery large size BUTTON in a clasp of some sort.

At the risk of upsetting both the Gunners and the Sappers, who share the same motto "UBIQUE".
It is said that to one it means "everywhere" while to the other it means "all over the place". Tim

Thanks for your replies. I am sure you are right by saying it is RA and not RE as it is advertised.
Thanks, Jerry

I also concur that it could well be a large RA KC button. A look at the back of buckle would confirm or otherwise

I also concur with previous posts. It’s a button and some lucky kid may have a cute little piece of “Trench Art” for their Teddy Bear! Regards, D.J.
