Artillery badge or similar needs identifying
 

Hello

This is hollow and 34mm tall. I think it is artillery but not sure of which exactly and what year. Maybe it was part of a bigger piece even? it does not have anything on the back to put a pin through and there's no other holes.

I would say Fusilier collar? Badge.
Regards Tony.

A universal grenade badge, worn on headdress, collars and shoulders by different units. Authorised as Pattern Number No. 9281 by Horse Guards letter of 21st May 1872 as "Not Special Grenade”, and at least worn until 2004 in A/A by the Royal Welch fusiliers, making it one of the longest continually used badges.
Worn by the Royal Artillery OR's as collar badge 1880-1914 1924-1926 and as cap badge 1890-1902.
Is it still in use today?

Rgds, Thomas.

I guess it will be impossible to find out its exact age.
