grenade badges
Can anyone please illustrate the difference, if any, between Fusilier universal grenades (as worn with shoulder titles) and RA universal grenades (as worn on collar). If I'm not mistaken, would they have separate sealed patterns?
Thanks in advance GTB |

I think the RA badge has the UBIQUE scroll below.

Thanks both.
Tony, I believe the badge with motto would be a later and different pattern GTB |

As Simon said, both identical.
Used as Fusiliers collar badges, and on shoulder titles, RE's, collar and Sgt's arm badge, RA, cap badge, collar badges. Made in WM Vols, GM, and finally AA for the RWF collar badges. Chris |

There will be different sealed patterns for each unit, even they may be the same! Their description, date, Patt No will be in the WO at the NA. The original types will be at the NAM.
