Royal Scots Dragoon Guards
Hi Guys,
I picked up this Royal Scots Dragoon Guards badge set a while ago. Just wondering if anyone happens to know what that flaming grenade badge is? I assume being on the same display its related to the RSDG? Mick

I believe it is a bandsman badge. That is the only description that Bloomer gives, no dates.

Expect to get half that if you sold it at auction is a good rule of thumb.

RADG Grenade
22.04.70. At the 198th Meeting of the Army Dress Committee it was decided to approve Dress & Embellishments for RSDG.
These included an additional cap badge for soldiers of the band, to be provided under regimental arrangement and at regimental expense- a brass grenade above the regimental cap badge on the forage cap. Hope this helps, Stephen. |

Good Mick, I mentioned as it wasn't shown with the other items. To be honest, not my favourite shoulder title much prefer the old one.
