Default New badge for Royal Artillery officers

Well gentlemen and ladies, the forum must be having an impact on the badge fakers out there!

Obviously somebody has decided that rather than be named and shamed as a faker it is better to invent your own badge, that way you can't be accused of anything underhand.

Cheers, Keith

At least two different designs. Are they genuine "something's", perhaps continental?

The second one illustrated appears to be a blatant misrepresentation of 576th LAA/SL Regt. RA. Now it will start another argument ref. The number of flames on the grenade, do I see ten there? To be honest, he does seem to be catering to the "Walter Mitty's" and others of that ilk out there!

I would be interested to see what badge you have recorded for 576.

Sorry Marc, you must have done a double take at my post! I was referring to one of your silk patches and can only surmise an infusion of Highland Park cancelled out my hand,eye and brain coordination. Check your 32nd (City of London) searchlight Regt. RA (TA). Regards, DJ.
