The Royal Regiment of Artillery
 

Hello from Canada

I recently obtained this helmet plate thinking it was an OR's badge, but after soaking the badge for three days using a mild dish detergent and giving it a gentle brushing using a soft tooth brush I noticed that the wheel on the gun carriage started to move slightly. The gilt finish came up in a very nice state and the striking is very sharp and crisp.The badge weighs 51g. and is 85 cm wide x 102cm high. It is on three loops and the carriage wheel is held in place with two clips. Opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

It is an officers Helmet plate in gilt.
The pierced Royal Arms centre confirms that.
regards

Thank you Simon

I will catalogue it as KK 806 for reference purposes. KK did not seem to mention OR's or Officer's in the HP descriptions.

Kind Regards

I am still wondering why this is in the "Cavalry, Yeomanry, Tank/RAC Badges" section and not in "Royal Artillery, Royal Engineers and Royal Signals." :confused:
