The silver rose helps to substantiate the connection to the Royal Fusiliers but the grenade flames are more likely to be Royal Engineers, can anyone identify it please, obviously if a Royal Fusiliers I keep it but if it is to the Royal Engineers, it goes for the same as I paid for it.
Incidentally, it's dimensions are approximately 60mm in height and 35mm in width ??
As always, thanks in advance.

HI DAVE
Saidly I think its a duffer as the rose loks like a post WWII medal rose which has a blade to the rear for attaching to ribbon bars if you look at teh WWII rose pic you will see they are the same except for the 2 holes which the post war examples dont have ie falklands war , gulf war etc very sorry to see it happerning steve
