The Royal Regiment of Artillery

[Michael Griffiths]

Hello from Canada

I recently obtained this helmet plate thinking it was an OR's badge, but after soaking the badge for three days using a mild dish detergent and giving it a gentle brushing using a soft tooth brush I noticed that the wheel on the gun carriage started to move slightly. The gilt finish came up in a very nice state and the striking is very sharp and crisp.The badge weighs 51g. and is 85 cm wide x 102cm high. It is on three loops and the carriage wheel is held in place with two clips. Opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.
