I have one query, I have a Firmin London marked modern A/A slidered badge (I have the earlier 1950's R. A. Hughes Ltd version as well). What would this have been worn on?

Hi Kevin,
Information on this company is sadly lacking and all that can be said is that R.A. Hughes definitely made anodised badges from October 1957 together with Firmin, Grove Manufacturing, J.R. Gaunt and H.W. Timings. This manufacturing information is recorded in War Office Anodised Aluminium Badge Policy File WO32/16956 held at the National Archives, Kew.
If anyone else can add to the above then please let me know.
Badges by Hughes are scarce and worth looking out for.
Regards
Chris
