From this angle it looks like a Queen's crown which would place it from the time of the Boer War.

Hello Karin,
And a warm welcome to the forum.
Thats an good question you have put to the forum and a bit of a mystery.
Definately a Queens crown as david has said,think I would go with Mikes guess of a belt buckle?
Good luck with your further digging ;)

Karin,

I am still intrigued by this. What is on the back of it?

With thanks

Hi David,

There is nothing on the back of it. I have taken more photo's, could it not have been part of some insignia? I am also very intrigued by this piece, in the same area I found a bullet tip from a 303 and a cartridge from a Mauser.
