Default 2 x NK Cloth Badges

Hi All, I am at a total loss on these 2 items. They came in with a load of RM items last year and I have spent a lot of that time researching to no avail, can anyone help with the ID?

The grenade - a Grenadier Guards collar or shoulder strap badge?

The grenade cloth badge looks nice.

Is it a Grenadier Guards collar badge Andy?
Did they wear it on the shoulder strap at some time? I think that one of the Canadian Grenadiers did.

Default Grenade

Hi, I went down the GG route (Canadian as well) but the manufacture looks Victorian/Edwardian! Think I'll take advice and go down the GG route. Cheers

I reckon it is Leigh, and Victorian IMHO.

I was thinking it was an older one as the flame is a little more ornate.

Not that I am expert in this, but although the construction of the grenade badge looks British, I have never seen flames quite like that on British insignia.

If you ever want to move the grenade on, would you let me know ?
