Hi
No idea of value but just a bit of information
The crown on the box is for queen Victoria, reigned from 1837 ( the gold coloured cypher says VR)

Fernando has identified year as 1823 which would be William iv on the arrow part

And the badge with more rounded top crown looks to have GR with a v in the middle, he was reigning from 1910 to 1936, maybe my mistake in what I see though but it does look like this

Just checked kings own Norfolk yeomanry only formed in 1901 so it is GR V

So it looks as if there is a lot of chopping and changing going on
Looks nice overall but maybe it is a parts made piece, that I do not know
Regards
Ken
