This is a rare item, it comes from the bullion grenade worn by RNF officers of the TA and TAVR on the No 1 Dress cap. It is unissued (the post has not been cut down) and missing its gold bullion grenade. I have photographed it against and example in my own collection, which is not available for sale. A scarce item even though worn circa 1957 - 1970. Grenade was of a pattern unique to the RNF and 45 x 26mm. See Col DR Wood's Fifth Fusiliers and its Badges, No 213 for the complete item. Perhaps Hand & Locke could be persuaded to make an embroidered grenade! DRW 66
