I'm sure someone else will give you the information you need. All I have to offer is the fact that, within the regiment it is referred to as a "cap star".

The badge design dates form the late 1890s but was replaced by a/a in the 1960s. Still issued today in a/a. I have yet to see a modern issued brass one although I believe that the CG and GG badges are now issued in metal once more.

I have posted this badge before with no luck as to who or when it was used.
It is a bronze cap star other ranks style so any help would be appreciated Malc

I believe this cap badge design was in use in the Crimean War, when the Scots Guards were then the Scots Fusilier Guards. I'm trying to find out at the moment when the Grenade worn by the Grenadier Guards was 1st worn. I'll find some pictures and post them when I get a couple of books back off a tried. The Grenadier, Scots Fusilier and Coldstream Guards wore the similar or even the same cap badges they wear now.
