Default Staffordshire & West Midlands ACF

Good evening,

I have found this brassard with ACF badge. Staffordshire & West Midlands (North Sector) ACF seems to have two different badges (cf picture). Could you confirm ? Thank you

Badge worn by the man on the right is MERCIAN ACF affiliated detachments - possibly replaces the brown shield design

Tim

P.S. I now see that it is not! Although it is a knot!

Thank you for these precisions

The first picture with both patterns is dated 2016

The Staffordshire knot seems to be on a black backing

It's a different badge, multi coloured one is sewn on square and black one is pointing north to south.

For a guess one is acf and the other is ccf??

Black diamond With Gold Stafford knot is the issue for Staffordshire detachments,

I have never seen the multi coloured version shown.


The Gold shield is worn by the West Midlands detachments.

I am a SI Sgt Instructor within Staffordshire ACF.

Regards

Stephen

It is also worn by members of 3rd Battalion (Staffords) The Mercian Regiment.
