Cross Cannon Army Badge
Please could someone help me to identify the Cross Cannon badge shown.
Any information would be very helpful. Size of Badge is approximately 2 inches square. 20210201_134938.jpg Additional information; Rear view shows badge pressed by die not cast. Country of origin would be useful as would rarity and value. Last edited by Twix; 28-06-21 at 03:04 PM. Reason: More information and additional photo |

1st Prize (I thought was 2nd, hav'nt checked the books).
Was it 2nd Prize prior to 1892? |

Always been 1st Prize with the Shell in wreath. The 1877-1892 badge was in silver wire, red or yellow worsted. There may have been silver metal versions then, but I have not found any record of them in metal for 1877-1892.
Marc I would be interested if spare.
