RA grenade on a shield ...

Hi,

I just get this badge in a lot... Royal artillery grenade on blue and red cloth sewn on a leather shield.
Is there a special destination for this badge or only a fantasy ?

Hello Herve, I think its a Royal Engineers collar badge.
Regards Tony.

It could possibly be an individual's interpretation of the sign of the Royal Artillery component of the First World War Guards Division. Mike

Yours has 9 flames = RE, although the RA did wear this pattern during 1926-1927.
