Royal Northumberland Fusiliers Officer's Gilt & Silver Plated Cap Badge

A die cast gilt example of two part construction with flames to 14 points and with two original long loops to the reverse (also found with a small slider). Mounted on the ball in silver plate is St George facing left within motto circle QUO FATA VOCANT. Circa 44mm tall and 26mm wide across the flames. Worn on the forage and SD cap and the beret from 1936 until 1959, although the TA battalions continued to use them post 1959. Reverse of neck of grenade is stamped 'P' for plated. A fabulous example.
