Hi Peter,

I picked up one of these only a few months ago, and believe it to be associated with London (Possibly City of London) Territorial Army.

Regards

John

John,

That is very helpful. I had an inkling they might be TA ( I have a pair) but wasn't sure.

Thanks for your help, mate.

Peter

Thanks, Tim.

You frequently see similar badges with straighter sides (for want of a more accurate description) designated as ACF - would this be correct?

Default CoL cloth badge

Please find attached City of London Police Traffic Warden hat badges. The earlier version is embroidered, measuring 38 x 48mm, being replaced by the metal version when CoLP handed control of the warden service over to the Corporation of London.
