Would it be off a WW2 era FS cap? I'm sure Jerry or someone with more knowledge than me will be along shortly. Cheers.
my thought too.
An arm badge I would suggest and perhaps WWI, though variationswere also worn inter wars and WWII. It is/was worn above rank chevrons as part of the rank insignia in the same way the RA wore the gun badge above their senior NCO's stripes. It is perhaps for mortar qualified NCO is it was coloured, plain versions are RE rank insignia I think. The later versions might have a different meaning. This is not really my area and the books I have are not the clearest on the subject.

Whatever its just an opinion.
Lots of similar insignia on the bay, though more modern versions but much the same I think.

It appears early and is quite likely to be WWI in date of manufacture.
