Question Unusual Volunteer Artillery badge

I bought this at Thetford this morning, a Volunteer Artillery badge 1902-08 which originally had three blades N-E-W and a separate wheel held by two tabs, this does not spin.

My questions are, is it an officers or senior NCO's badge and is it a private purchase.

Comments welcomed.

Default Volunteer Artillery badge

Marc, my thoughts on this badge also, all I have to do now is solder three blades on to it.

Good day folks

I realise that this is a very old post but I this is an appropriate addition.

Is this a genuine Volunteer Artillery badge as described in the post.

Many thanks

James

No, its 100% FAKE.

Displays all the typical fake features discussed on here many times.
