Artillery Pouch Belt Tip

[orasot]

Hi Lads, I have thease 2 pouch belt tips, the w/m one I believe is Volunteer Artillery with 4 lugs ( 1 missing ) my questions are about the gilt one, is it Artillery too as it has different flames ? Also, does anyone know what fixings this would have had, it seems to have big stubs, possible screw posts but also a small stub in the grenade & 2 small stubs in the flames ?? I want to get this repaired but want to try to do it right, any help much appreciated. Gilt one is 72mm x 53mm, w/m one is 60mm x 48mm.

P.S The gilt one still has old solder residue on it where the big old screw was removed, nothing to do with the stubs remaining.

Wilf,

Hi Wilf,
I'm not an expert on these fittings but will show mine, hope it helps.
The white metal one has 4 rounded white metal lugs, the gilt one has 4 oval-shaped copper lugs (actually the bottom one is missing).
Cheers, Tinto

Wilf.

I used to have one of these with three inch long wires in place of lugs.
