Dave,
I saw an Ashton under Lyne one on ebay a few weeks ago which was clearly a police collar badge on the grenade.
I looked at many of the other similar ones he was selling and saw every one had identical wires/blades holding the coat of arms on and reached the conclusion that all had been 'adapted' to fit a grenade and were therefore a collectors fantasy creation.
Having said that it brought over £200!!!!
regards
