Hello. Im hoping that the image i have added can be seen, if so would anyone have any information they could give me on this. I found this with some of my dads belonging. I knew he had done national service with the Royal Berks but wondered if there was anything else to the pin.

The image is not very good and is it the correct way up, could it be a regimental tie bar?

Showed OH ( who did NS.) and he thinks it may be 'tank corps'? he suggested you contact Royal Berks. museum.
