This is a very nice sweetheart brooch, in the above link is a similar one in white metal or silver. I think it is ww2 era.
Cheers,

All,
Just saw this by accident in the random image section within the gallery. Looks like the same piece but with a No 2 Commando band at the top?

Had replies from all over the place about what is a broach. They were sweetheart broaches for different regiments. Thanks for all the help.
