Default Shiplake CCF

https://www.regimentalbadges.com/en-...7#.ZGX-zT2KRhE

Bosleys are asking £85 for this badge (£50-60 overpriced for a CCF badge in my opinion). I would be wary because the School has very good website with backcopies of the school magazine that records the ACF being raised as an OBLI unit and the subsequent cap badge changes to the Rifles via the RGJ.

An email to school was replied to to say they were unaware of a school CCF cap badge other than the Regular Army badges of their affiliated regiments.

Default It's not always what it is touted top be!!

I also gave this a wide berth after I saw it on the Regimental website and followed up with a good deal of on-line research. It's probably closer to a scholar's badge that would normally be worn on a blazer lapel.
