Help identifying this insignia/symbol

[blackdiamond]

Hi all. Hoping to get some help identifying this piece of interesting jewellry. It clearly seems to be an insignia of some sort, but of what exactly? Found in a park established in 1920s/30s.

Thanks.

Could be Islamic related with the crescent moon on the rear???

I figured that was some sort of fastener/attachment so it can clip on/over an existing button or something.

The letters may be an R with an I overlay, if you google RI you get a number of explanations
Real estate Institute
Toastmasters badge etc

How about a lapel pin maybe the letters RR

A "Railways Inspector" badge perhaps?

That is so it can be inserted into a boutonniere on a jacket lapel :Y:

It's a monogram badge... a monogram is a motif made by overlapping or combining two or more letters to form one symbol. Monograms are often made by combining the initials of an individual or a company and used as recognizable symbols or logos.

I think it could be a member badge of the IOR, otherwise referred to as the Independant Order of Rechabites Friendly Society.

I have seen this monogram and font before - look at the order that the characters are arranged the I is uppermost, the O next beneath, and the R lowest.

looking for a reference atm......

Only one R

but for your interest in the interim see https://www.google.com.au/search?q=...AhXWQd4KHam7B-0Q7Al6BAgDEA0&biw=1880&bih=1135
