Grenadier Guards in White Metal
It looks like a genuine badge. 17 flame tips. The slider has been cropped. No idea what it could be.

Certainly from the front its a Volunteer Artillery forage cap badge, but as it was discontinued in 1902 it shouldnt have a slider and I have only seen them with loops, so I am puzzled

Did the GG wear WM badges? Why would a slider be on a Vol Artillery badge for wear in a cap when the slider for caps hadnt been introduced? I would like to know for definate what it is. regards

I don't think so though there are a number of similar badges to the "French / German" one used by various nations.
The GG 17 flame grenade is distinctive (kind've).

And of course there's the "Coldstream Guards badge" in white metal and lugged that is actually the badge of a Surrey Militia Artillery (?) unit the name of which escapes me.
