Vintage 1950s Gold-Tone Military Fusilier Brooch British Regiment Grenade Lapel

Military badge brooches in this style are harder to find than the cap badges they were copied from.

A mid-century cast metal brooch modelled on a British fusilier regiment insignia — the flaming grenade burst paired with a circular medallion bearing a Tudor rose and regimental detail. Gold-tone finish throughout, with the slight variation in tone between the disc and the flame element that is typical of cast costume pieces from this period.

The Tudor rose and grenade motif places this firmly in the British military tradition, where fusilier regiments have used the flaming bomb as their symbol since the 18th century.

Works well pinned to a lapel, jacket pocket, or worn on a flat-weave wool coat. A considered choice for anyone who collects British military memorabilia or wears regimental-style pieces. The scale — 5 × 3 cm — is substantial enough to read clearly without being oversized.
