Default Territorial Artillery, officer's gilt badge

Hi All,

I acquired this Territorial Artillery badge earlier and was wondering if anybody has any ideas on the purpose of it, based on the 3 screw posts. They are original to the badge.

It is the same size as the standard RA gun, cap badge.

Cheers,

Phil

A lovely badge Phil, these gilt RA badges are so stunning.

Nice to see RA TF pouch badge, it must be an uncommon one.
