Royal Artillery Badge (Cont:-)
To continue in the correct section.. Can anyone identify the badge?
It is pressed tin or silver. There are no markings. There were 2 mounting pins on the reverse (now broken off). One was in the centre, the other was where the carriage meets the ground at the rear of the gun I hope this works FRONT  [/IMG]Reverse [IMG]  [/IMG]

There you go Alan. Just to let you know. When you type a new message on the thread. Look at the tool bat above. You'll see a paperclip, click on this and follow the prompts to attach images; rather than embedding them.
Regards Simon.

Thanks for the link to the site.......
Yes it seems the badge is a mixture of the details of both my badges. Thanks Alan My two Badges IMG-1a (4).jpg IMG_8103.jpg Badge from web site HPIM2487[1].jpg Last edited by alan8376; 20-08-11 at 08:46 AM.

Of course, don't forget manufacturers' variations - you can't expect identical detail from every maker. Ths design is typical of the pouch badge used before the adoption of the 'cap badge' style with bolts. Gilt (often fire gilt) for regulars and silver plate for volunteers. Desirable to RA collectors as it is possible to show many different variants. David
