Modern Jersey Field Sqn Cap Badge Manufacturer
Hi Guys,
The modern officers badges are marked: Milice Rouoyale De jerri Can anyone throw some light on this particular badge maker - I've tried the interweb but no joy. Regards, Chris |

Chris, I cannot be totally sure of this but I think it is a local jeweller on Jersey who was commissioned to make these as there was only a small run of officer badges made and they all have a serial number on the rear.
Norman Wood (sarawak@jerseymilitia.co.uk ) would be the man to ask. I believe he is a member. I have 2 badges, serial No MCE 038 & XXX. The 1st for a Squadron officer and the 2nd for collectors. As I said a very small batch was made. The currant OR's badge is made by London Badge & Button Co Ltd in new metal. Jerry

Should that be a makers mark?
To me it is the (french inspired) local language name of Royal Jersey Militia". Thus when it is a makers mark the Militia itself makes them.

Milice Rouoyale De jerri = ROYAL MILITIA OF JERSEY ?
That could well be the answer - Commissioned by the Squadron themselves.
