Belgian Lion insignia, Metal on cloth, Can you Identify?

I have had this patch/badge for sometime. I think this is the Belgian Lion. Can anyone tell me how this insignia was worn? Is this a Cap badge or is it a sleeve insignia. The black backing is securely attached to the back and I don't want to tear it apart to see how the metal insignia is attached or if its marked. The metal insignia measures about 2 inches from top to bottom.

 

The black backing is kind of common on English made insignia. Is this possibly war time English made?

 

Its a really nicely detailed insignia so if anyone can shed any light as to the age and how this would have been worn, I would appreciate it.

 

Thanks

The badge is almost 3/4 of an inch high. It seems like it would be clumsy and catch on things if worn as a sleeve insignia.

 

Any ideas are appreciated.

 

Thanks

Boy, Dennis! That is cool! Never seen anything like that in all my looking! Does seem rather odd to wear like a sleeve patch or something. I'll keep my eyes open for something like this! Did the Belgium tab come with it?
