Number 2 and Number 5 are also unidentified in 54Bty album!
http://www.britishbadgeforum.com/for...php?albumid=98 Number 1 (Northern Ireland District) is said to be a pun on "nest" = NID (French for nest)! Number 3 looks more like a School Badge Number 4 NORTHAG is a design based on an ancient battleaxe found during construction in the early 1950s of the Joint HQ at Rheindahlen near Moenchengladbach in West Germany.

Thanks Acorn,I see someone else is looking too, I guess ther aren't all in the books. I collect pictures of British WW2 formation signs from all over patches or decals. Some I get from ebay & they are wrongly named or not named at all. so its a long drawn out battle. I do have the acorn identified however. Ray

The last one is US. Either an uncataloged version of the Maine State Guard early WW2 or a CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) camp insignia. There is virtually no reference on CCC insignia. I do however have a early 1930's US Army officer 4 pocket tunic with that formation sign on it. No positive identification has been made yet.

Assistance please
The second badge, a diamond with three loggerheads, look as if it should be Shropshire related. It doesn't feature in Westlake as TA arty related, so could be a school or Boy Scouts/Guides.
