Here is what is thought to be a very fine Georgian period Grenadier Guards fused grenade with on the ball a ‘GR’ cypher, the reverse with two pierced broad tang fasteners that suggest a Senior NCOs’ shoulder belt plate mount, c1820-30s, showing that single metal badges with cyphers were not uncommon. Notice that the pattern of the flames is different to today.
