Default Essex ACF emb badge

Total fabrication- please post it to me immediately to be placed in isolation.

Seriously, FS No 146 April- June 1987 has an article upon Essex ACF badges post-WW2.
Between 1970 and 1973 an embroidered cap badge was worn consisting of gold wire on black. The badge was the seaxes of Essex below which was a scroll ‘Essex A.C.F.’.

Keith Hook had one in his collection (photo attached).

I wonder if they were made in the same manner as the Norfolk ACF & Norfolk Girl Guides badges, by a company who normally specialised in ships tallies.

Stephen.
