It looks naval but doesn't correspond to any of the current navy rank slides. It could be British customs. A Wikipedia search reveals that after the mid 1950's, Chief Preventative Officers wore three rings.

I can confirm that it is not "Customs" related. Sealink (UK) used a similar "logo" as part of their corporate image during the 1980's and the finish (gilt) together with the flat style of manufacture suggests that it may be from a commercial uniform rather than one worn by a Government agency etc., which would in any event normally feature the Monarch's Crown. As an aside, Sealink operated a ferry service between Dover and France (Calais) for many years.

They certainly did. Do you think it's one of theirs?

BTW the monarch's crown doesn't appear on most rank badges.

I think it is a fantasy piece.
Genuine uniform buttons are to an organisation, not to a rank.

Could be from a yacht club?

Hello Didier

I don't think your button is military, even though the design does look rather like a naval rank insignia!

I think it is either a "transportation" company button (as already mentioned, something like Sealink is a strong possibility) or it is a fashion button as used on jackets or blazers.
