This lot comprises two distinct pieces of British Army uniform insignia. The first item is a Royal Regiment of Fusiliers cap badge, featuring a bi-metal construction with a gilt-finished flaming grenade and a silvered central device depicting St. George slaying the dragon within a garter. The badge is mounted at the base of a traditional bi-colour feather hackle, consisting of a red upper section over a white lower section.
