Default Fusiliers Badge that has me stumped.

Here is what appears "at least to me" as a Royal Fusiliers badge. However this particular piece has a crown that is unfamiliar to me. As well it has a silvered finish. Lugs N and S. 32 x 42in size.

To what unit would this badge have belonged?

thanks
Jack

It's the QVC collar badge. It was used briefly as a cap badge before the bespoke design.

Thanks Alan and J.T. Let me digest the linked thread.

What I need is a good clear copy of K&K. Mine is the many times reprinted version with blurry photos.

Best
Jack
