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). |

This is a collar badge from the Netherlands Garderegiment Grenadiers, a fairly modern version, the grenades have screw posts.

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.
