Northumberland Fusiliers
 

Gents, I have 3 differing examples of this badge. Would be interested to see any further examples by maker/die/colour variation.

Additionally there are 2 collar badge variations whereby they are oriented either vertical or horizontal (with central device oriented 'upright) for No.1 dress

Both as I understand it are in facing pairs. Does anyone have these or any images of them please?

Regards all

Bess

I think "Churchill" states that a pair of the upright pattern RNF in anod al appear on a sealed pattern with St George and the dragon facing the same way (implying that they weren't worn in mirror pairs?).
I may be wrong, he may be talking about the horizontal pattern, I find it hard to follow what he's saying sometimes.

Image of RNF anodised horizontal collar badge recently sold on eBay.

Very nice Tim,any idea what it went for ?

Mike,
It was in this job lot which sold for £20+ (I was the under bidder!)

Bugger . . .

Picked this up from eBay the other day.
It's an unmarked slider.
The badge has certainly seen wear, and the makers name is not on the inside, so definitely an unmarked one.
I believe by comparison it's a Gaunt one, it's the finish, the same rivet has been used to attach the St George part, and the slider is the same size also.
The gold is lighter on the unmarked one though.
I hope this is of interest.
Cheers
Chris

I'm after a bimetal upright collar facing right as viewed if anyone has a spare.
