Unknown NVR Badge.
 

Hi All,

Any idea's on this one? It came with a lot of Gurkha badges.

Many thanks

Paul

Norfolk Volunteer Regiment, part of the 1914-1919 Volunteer Force. Have a look at K&K vol 2 fig 1668
Cheers, Dave

Or Maybe not............................................Tim e will tell.:eek:

Hi all forum members, would you all kindly help me, how many of you have the badge pictured above in your collections. Thanks Andrew

Hi Andrew,
I have one with 2 blades, have shown it before.
Cheers, John

Andrew has done some good detective work on this badge it’s not Norfolk.

Nottinghamshire perhaps?

The old 1st Notts (Robin Hood) RVC helmet plates and belts used a monogram. Then when 3rd V.B. their fsc badge was a blackened more spaced out monogram.

The coronet is that of an Earl and there is an Earl of Nottingham.

Thanks

I have one and thought initially it was Norfolk Volunteer Regiment, however I think it is National Volunteer Rifles or Rifle Volunteers.

Thanks

Andrew,

I have, as you might expect, a couple of these in my collections. They accompany my National Volunteer Reserve button hole badge, which is a very different design overall but the same cypher. I also have the cloth title...
