A member if my wife's family found the item in the attached pictures while cleaning out their home in preparation for moving. Her family knows I am a reservist, and so it was passed along to me to keep if I wished since it "kinda looked military related".
The person who gave it to me didn't know what it was, who brought it into the family, or why it came into their possession other that likely getting a "box of stuff" while cleaning out a deceased relative's home.
I believe that is an RCR cap badge on the metal work (I think with an older style crown?) and I think it is some manner of drill item(?). The iPhone should give a size comparison, and there is some faint stamping in the metal which I believe says "F.N. Byham" with "England" underneath it. A quick cruise of Google doesn't return anything pertinent to that name.
Hoping someone can shed some light on what this item is and when it might have seen service.
