It's nothing like the Royal Fusilers badge though, even taking the Order of the Garter and central rose off the RF badge the flames are completely different. Logically a scroll ought to have been attached to a regular RF badge of which there were a plenty but as Alan as said an obscure Grenadier Guards badge was chosen to adapt.
