Default Enormous Gurkha badge

spotted this on ebay. might be some use for a Gurkha display for someone?

(no connection to the vendor!) - Gurkha collectors might miss it due to the misspelling.

Great display items. I've got a couple of these as well. Coat of arms (I think possibly from a carriage) and a giant artillery... I gather this came from behind the mess bar in Cairo, but can't verify this.
Cheers, Neil

Mike.. showing my ignorance here but if the scroll wasn't there would there be any other way of identifying the badge? Number of flames etc.?

The 'royal crest on a fused grenade' design is unique to the Royal Scots Fusiliers, so I don't think you can go wrong.




edit. you can go wrong see Bloomer 4, R.Scots Greys - similar design
