It looks like the arms for the British Monarchy.
It is a nice pin. Great find.

it certainly contains the arms, but it's not "The" arms. The heraldic device directly above the "Royal Arms" looks very similar to the Arms of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.

The surmounting triple crown motif seems strange to me. If I saw it in the wild, I might dismiss it as a decorative mish-mash.

If it's real, please don't send the Luxenbourgian or whatever assassins after me, Sir Arms Bearer- I'm just an ignorant plebe.

Agreed -- I think it is "decorative mish-mash" as well.

The stamping isn't so clear that I can make out all the details. It does certainly seem to be the Arms of Luxembourg at the top - or at least it's barry of ten something and something, a lion rampant crowned something.

I can't make out the charges on the two that flank it - I think there's a ship in there, and I'm not sure if that's meant to be an electors bonnet at the top.
