Post A rare type of Officers badge?

Has anyone ever come accross the officers collar dogs worn in the Antrim Artillery TA regiment of the Royal Engineers? I believe they were very similar to the old UVF badge, made of Bronze, with a red hand in the middle and the words Antrim Artillery on the scroll as opposed to "For God And Ulster". If anyone knows anything about them, when did this regiment stop wearing them?

A QC collar badge in gilt is known, design is the hand of ulster within an oval srap. The title "Antrim Artillery" with in the strap surmounted by a QC. All in gilt.

This is the extent of my knowledge I am afraid.

Very nice indeed! I've never actually seen one, but would love to get my hands on one. but I don't think I'll be overwhelmed with offers.

Thanks again

Och, I never knew it was such a rare badge as over the past months I've seen two of the AA badges sold for 20 pounds each.

Ahh well.....
