Looks like maybe a (brass?) piece attached with a rivet to some sort of pot metal base... it looks very much like the similar pieces made (ww1, 2?) with a kings crown or a croix de guerre- I would guess just a homemade patriotic piece. Maybe even made commercially? Not sure, sorry I couldn't be of more help...

I would say the royal coat of arms of great britain. https://www.cai.org/files/images/theme-sheets/ni/i2013/image001.jpgThe ring i think is a mass produced one. Nice.

I didn't know that was your main collecting focus- but now that we know we will all keep an eye out for those pieces!

I would imagine there's a few from the Palestinian campaigns. I have a ring that says Baghdad 1917- it could be Anzac, I think. I will look through the threads and see if I can find it..

Only a small cropped one from one of the ring boxes... it actually reads "1918" not 1917. My mistake!
