Default Royal Northumberland Fusiliers Officers Badge With Slider.

I'm after opinions on this badge please.
Is this the RNF officers badge variation for wear on the cap which has a "special"fitting to take the small slider?
Gilded grenade with a white metal Geordie and dragon within motto circlet affixed by two horizontal wires, the slider is of a white metal which has been gilded.
It doesn't appear to be a Birmingham Mint badge.

Looks a good badge to me. There are slidered officers badges out there.
Cheers, Dave

Thanks for that link -I cant remember seeing that thread before. SonofaCQMS has mentioned the officer's badge with small slider in two threads that I know of, but I hadn't seen images of it.
I have another RNF badge which appears to be gilded but I think with the more conventional larger slider, I was never sure whether it was officer's or OR's, I'm inclined to think its the latter but must dig it out & post images.

Hi, it is an officer's badge, slidered badges were worn by officers of the regiment from 1936 - 1959. See Col Denis Wood's Fifth Fusiliers and its Badges, No 176 (2nd Edn) or No 173 (1st Edn). The retaining frog is also illustrated as No 176A.

Thanks, I thought that was what it was but wasn't sure and didn't know the dates of use - basically for the life of RNF other than the "Brigade" badge period for the Regulars.
