Sadly like many such wartime badges it has not so far been possible to decipher the meaning of PTF although MFG clearly stands for Manufacturing.
No such firm appears on the Graces Guide website
http://www.gracesguide.co.uk/Main_Page which is a useful tool for tracking down defunct British companies.
I'd be delighted if someone could identify this firm.

I wonder if there is a link to Preston (Lancs), given that the
city's arms bear almost an identical paschal lamb to the one depicted on Shiny's badge?
Perhaps the 'P' is for 'Preston'. Some or other munitions factory, tool factory, foundry...?
