small RA bronze collar query
Who wore the small 1 1/2 inch sized RA bronze collar badge and when?
It is not mentioned in Campbell "The dress of the Royal Artillery" from 1971. Rgds, Thomas.

These were a mistake made by 'AMMO UK', c1989 a few Officers recently posted from RMA Sandhurst had the misfortune to be wearing them on arrival for their first CO's interview in 4th Regiment Royal Artillery.

Thanks Marc, much appreciated.
Another question; the plastic WWII RA grenade came in both large and small sizes? Rgds, Thomas.

OK, thanks again. Plastic question was based on photo of one normal and one apparently shrivelled badge.
Rgds, Thomas.

variations on the theme of 1 1/2 "
RA grenades. the Fraser & Glass example has a " gold " wash finish to the obverse. the word " gold " refers only to the description and does not imply or infer that the item is of a precious metal, eg: Au ( aurum ) 79 in the Atomic table.

Silverwash, for your gold badge see http://www.britishbadgeforum.com/for...ad.php?t=13019 post #13.
The Stanley & Sons has extra plastic where the tip of the scroll meets the body of the grenade, they also came with a flat back. Rgds, Thomas.
