Metropolitan Police Dockyard Divisions
Purely by chance I was today checking through the online collections of the National Maritime Museum when I came across the badge shown below. This matches the one shown on my constable's cap with the exception that the anchor slopes the other way. I did wonder if the original photograph had been reversed but when I tried flipping the image although the cap badge came out the right way his collar numbers were back to front. So I guess that the photograph is correct!
The NMM have no information at all on the badge and don't know who it was produced for. I have also included the original image for comparison.
Dave, I have also sent this message to the other web site!
