Victorian White Metal British Volunteer Artillery Forage Cap Badge - Smaller Pattern

As worn on the pill box or peaked cap by many Volunteer Artillery Other Ranks across the Kingdom, a white metal grenade with seven flames with two original toned loops to the reverse. Circa 4.1cms tall. Lovely item. Circa 1860 - 1902. One sees the larger ten and fourteen flame versions much more often. There is also a Grenadier Guards style pattern with 17 flames but in white metal.

Norman Litchfield (The Volunteer Artillery) Fig 19, and K&K Vol 1 No 839 refer.
