It’s a Royal Regiment of Fusiliers cap badge, Tom.

Also worn by Fusilier Brigade prior to the amalgamation of its four component regiments to form RRF.
If the fittings are rounded wire loops it's a Fusilier Brigade badge, if pierced flat bars a RRF badge although the Brigade badges continued in wear with RRF as from the front the badges were the same. Both types had hackle fittings. |

Ah, but you can from "Anodised Aluminium: The 'No Bull' Cap Badge of the British Army" by Chris Marsh (and from my joining RRF during the early 1970's and noting the difference between most beret and collar badges being worn and some of those still worn by old sweats).

It looks like a badge that features on the regiment's PRI site, subject of a thread:
