Default Interesting Royal Artillery badge

Gents,

I have never seen one of these badges before - with a slider and lugs!

Is this common for Royal Artillery badges?





Mick

ps

I'll try for a clearer picture tomorrow - light wasn't to good when I took it.

It is an officers beret badge circa 1948, with the mounted wheel missing. There is a long thread on these.
