Default Volunteer Artillery grenade badge question

Hello
I have recently acquired a white metal Volunteer Artillery grenade, similar pattern to the Grenadier Guards badge.
It has white metal loops, is this correct the loops being white metal?
Thank you

Chris

I would pose the question back and ask if you think white metal loops are the norm or found on other WM volunteers badges?

That you felt uncertain enough about it to ask the question I suspect gives the answer.

I was simply clarifying, you never know in this hobby, I'll send it back.
