Hello,

Badges identical to these were sold on Ebay Canada recently, maybe this is one of them.

The seller sold a pair as collar badges, BUT, both faced left.

I am more inclined to believe that they are Officers Beret badges.

regards

I know of the of the pair on ebay. This is not one of them. It does look identical to the pair. Thanks for stone info. Of all the pictures I have seen of Arty oficer's, they are all wearing the familiar exploded bombs as collars. My dad was in the RA and I have his wartime beret and it does have a smaller cap badge.

Perhaps badges for a pouch?

In WW1 some of the CFA war raised overseas battalions wore small sized cap badges as collars, so it's possible the tradition extended to WW2 and beyond, perhaps.

Exact same size as post 2nd World War British beret badge.
