Pre WW2 Royal Military Academy Woolwich Cap Badge.

The Gilt metal badge of the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich. This was the main military academy for the training of commissioned officers of the Royal Artillery and Royal Engineers and later officers of the Royal Corps of Signals and other technical corps. RMA Woolwich was commonly known as 'The Shop' because its first building was a converted workshop of the Woolwich Arsenal. This badge was worn until early 1939 when the Academy closed. It is in excellent condition with slight loss to the gilded finish. Ref. N19
