Unknown White Metal Star Shaped Cap Badge With Coat of Arms

Does any forum member have any ideas what this cap badge is please? Well made, white metal badge with crimping mark on the slider . Will be offered for sale once identified.
Thank you Paul |
No idea but the star suggests that it is not British whilst the heraldry s a family crest to me so a real mismatch.
|
Perhaps a private works police/fire service badge?
Family chauffeur? |
Unknown school ACF OR CCF :confused:

To be exact:
School ACF badges wear their Regular Army badges. It is not a CCF cap badge that I know of. Pre 1940's cadet corps sometimes had their own badge and these are not well recorded but again this is not one I recognise. Alan |
Thanks everyone, 235 views and no positive ID! Must be scarce

The only other option is a VTC? They are not recorded in any detail so finding it will be a challenge.
|
Possibly a school in the colonies?

That's a good call.

Barbados Cadet Corps

Just to follow up, another clue.
The star and central device within are identical to this Barbados Cadet Corps recently listed on Geoff’s site. So a Barbados link. |

The Cadet Corps badge is a 6 pointed star. The badge in post #1 above is a 5 pointed star. Also it’s on a slider, so far all the other Barbados Cadet badges I’ve found had loops. |

Possibly connected to "The Lodge School" , the crest is the same as 'The Lodge School Old Scholars Association' (see photo).
There 'could' be a cadet connection ? Quote:

Note : The shield 'may' have been loosely based on the shield in old City of Bridgetown crest ? :confused: . |

Thanks Mike. Great research, really interesting.
Professor Charles Thomas had a couple Barbados badges inc. Cadets Corps on a West Indies Colonials card. None have a five pointed star and the similar badge with the arms he dates to pre 1939. Not saying he got it right all the time but may be of relevance. |
I was wondering if the badge could have been used by the original Lodge School cadets between 1904 and 1912 ?
