I wasn't saying the badge in your link is the badge I show, your badge is the school OTC/CCF? badge (worn by prefects in a photo in the book) the badge I show is the school prefects badge, shown simply to illustrate the difference,I'll dig out a photo sent to me by the school,

This is not a design that I have seen before but the slider is original so it's for a cap. I surmise it was an early OTC badge and worn after the QWR collar which is similar in design.

An interesting pair of recollections which show that the Emanuel JTC and later CCF adopted the Royal Fusiliers cap badge as early as 1942 by the dated photograph.

It would appear that Bosleys agree that it's an early OTC badge

Alan,

This photo may help. It appears to show the Rose and Portcullis without a scroll, a badge that was worn on the battledress collar in the 1960s.

An old thread but thought I would add this recently obtained card mounted photograph which appears to show a GM version of the Bronze badge shown in Alan's Album here. https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo...ctureid=150227

No Studio mark or date unfortunately.

Regards, Simon.

There is always a problem dating cadet uniforms as they often had obsolete uniforms but looking at the jacket and the shoulder patches I think that is is early and probably pre WW1.

The photo does rather suggest that the brass ones were the first issue and they subsequently changed them to a bronze finish.
