It could be Rugeley Rangers/Rifle Volunteers. I think there is an article in a MHS bulletin showing their badges Paul

Tony,
Very nice badge. Paul, I may be wrong but I don't think it is Rugeley Rangers, I will dig out the MHS bulletin with the article but I seem to remember that most of their insignia had a Staffordshire connection. Peter

The article only shows later badges so it is possible that it is a badge of the 21st (Rugeley ) Rifle Volunteers.
I wonder if a certain man with a shop in Rugeley might know ? Peter

I'm on the case Peter, there may be another article on the Rugeley Vols which I vaguely remember.

Well done Tony,
I love it when 'team' comes together on an unusual and interesting badge like this and are able to offer an identification - this is the forum at its best..  Well done all, Cheerio, Roy
